They (AGP) need to bring in young people to the team. In the present situation when the party has bought Prafulla Mahanta , one of the failure CM of Assam who did only things for him may not allow new people to come in. Most of the party people are more than 50 years now. There are only few in between 40-50 and no one will find any visionary leader in between 30 to 40 or below 30 years. The party must restructure its strategy and leave it for new people to come in. Some of the senior people are always needed but failures and criminals must be kicked out from the party.
