Requests citizens to vote in young leaders to usher change
Rakesh (27) is the city's first ever RJ to contest civic polls. Better known as Professor Ulfat Sultan, Rakesh works with Radio One and is contesting as an independent candidate from Jogupalya. He filed his nomination papers on March 12 and has been busy with his campaign since then.
Youth power
The BBMP polls have candidates ranging from doctors, engineers, former cops to RWA (Resident welfare association) members. But unlike others, Rakesh has a reason to contest.
"Youth under 29 make 60 per cent of Indian population but still depend on the rest 40 per cent for one or the other reason," said Rakesh.
