Ranbir Khobra is going to be 22 this May, but at the age of 21 yrs and a couple of months he was elected as a Municipal Councilor (MC) from ward no. 11 of Tohana on 30^th July, 2009. Only a person who has attained an age of 21 can contest an election of Municipal Councils. Ranbir did just that when he contested the election at the age of 21 yrs and 2months and was elected as MC. He is perhaps the youngest MC as of today in Haryana.

Ranbir says that he is the only one in his nuclear family who have contested any elections, as his father is in Govt Service in HSAMB and his mother is a teacher, so he was totally novice to politics yet he was able to defeat his nearest rival, 35 yrs old Sh. NamePal, an experienced person in politics.

Asked weather he has taken to politics as whole time, Ranbir told Sirsa News that it is not so, besides being a student of BBA at GJU Hisar, he is also looking after his business enterprise in the local grain market and is also marketing insurance products of a popular Govt. Sector Life Insurer. On contesting MLA or MP elections in future Ranbir said that given a chance he shall surely contest such elections as well.

Computer savvy and well mannered Ranbir says that his intention to join politics is to serve his area and people. He believes that youth of today should take actively to politics to usher a change in Indian political scenario.
