It is must that the politicians should get retired by 60 so that by giving chance to energetic youth. Many politicians having their age above 60 are snatching the opportunities for youth from becoming a good politician.
ACTUALLY THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA IS CORRUPT!
Politicians above 65 years should be strictly prohibited. We just get old rules and regulations framed again and again by him. A country can only prosper with a new approach. The involvement of new brains is a must.
This can only be done when we will stop electing these foolish politicians WHO JUST WANTS TO FULFIL HIS STOMACH NEEDS.
THINK ABOUT IT AND TAKE IT SERIOUSLY.
EVEN YOU CAN BE A COMING POLITICIAN. |

| I agree with Deepthi that there should be retirement age for the politician - 60 to 65 so that the youth can get chance to show their leadership qualities. After only their retirement the coming generation can get chance and show their qualities of leadership. |

Hello everyone.
I am totally disagree with few of my friends are saying here that, being politician is job. In my point of view it is a social work and there is no age of doing the work for society. If someone is really dedicated to his responsibility towards society then, I wish they should never retire. But in present scenario Figure is totally changed. EXCEPT FEW EVERYONE must retire from Indian politics. Because they are serving their own society called FAMILY. |

| Like everyone else, our politicians are elected to do a job. They ought to be subject to the same restraints placed on other employees. Age limits exist for a reason: to encourage the ascension of new talent, eliminate the potential for entrenched privilege, and ensure that the leadership reflects the changing times. All excellent reasons why it's time to impose a retirement age for our political graybeards. Let them be governors, advisers, even presidents, hold ceremonial offices as reward for their long service. But the hard work of governing is best left to the relatively young. Old politicians don`t retire. They just snooze on the job. And wake up during an election year. How can leaders who make news only for their age-related ailments steer the country towards progress? Can they ever talk to or make sense of the restless, aspiration new generation? And if there is a lower age limit to contest polls, why shouldn't there be an upper age limit? |

Yes 'I totally agree that, a politician has to have a retirement age, because politicians are very crucial and imperative towards the country. Generally after the age of 50 a person becomes lazy, inculcates many health problems and as they loose there capability to think more effectively and work more positively. And I thing that it is good to give youths more opportunities than giving an aged person because youths are full of ideas and are energetic in their task.
So politicians should have retirement age of nearly 60 -65yrs of age! |

| According to my point of view there should be an age limit of 50 years because after 50 generally a human becomes more lazy and as a result we all get corrupted politicians. A young politician would always be active and is more connected to the world so I think there should be an age limit of 50 years. WE should also have proper competitive exams to join politics. |

Hi.
Old people have experiences and new generations have got activeness, new ideas, energy as well as they are fit physically and mentally. So my point is that if we will have combination of these two such that older could give guidance and new comer goes through analyzation of data and field work with innovative ideas it would work. |

Politics is something which need huge experience, as we see that a province is comprised of young and old politicians which runs the government following points should be taken under consideration.
1. We have two groups of peoples consisting of young and old. The young are newly, having more efficiency to work, more passionate and fresh minded. They have fast tendency to react to any decision.
2. Secondly we have old, I do not go for the statement that old is gold because the gold is gold only and cannot be compared to any age group, the work should be gold whether it is accomplished by young or old. But the thing is there, the old are having an immense experience of life, decision, work, they will surely think ten times to take any work to be done out in a positive aspect as they might have had gone through it earlier.
IN ALL ASPECT ONE THING IS VERY CLEAR THAT AN OLD POLITICIAN WILL TAKE THE FINAL DECISION IN A VERY NON DYNAMIC MANNER BUT THE DECISION OPTED BY A YOUTH CAN BE VERY DYNAMIC EVENTUALLY.
THE single STATEMENT GIVEN BY THE OLD POLITICIAN SOMETIMES TURNS EQUAL TO THE STATEMENTS GIVEN BY A YOUTH POLITICIAN.
That is why old is needed with the young too. So there should be no retirement. |

There should be a age limit for all the service man to think about their services, and average age of Indian population is 64-65 than the retirement age of people should be at-least 5-7 year ago. |

According to my point of view if there is age limit for politicians it will be better.
1) Because when you see about aged people they think that only how to bribe, family politics and the entire city or state has image by their own.
2) If you see that young people came in their position then we hope there is something differently happened in the future. |

Good evening Gentleman's,
I want make your attention on one very known phrase "OLD IS GOLD. " This words has really make effective for our politician. In the politics the experience is much more in needed than the young blood. The veteran politician has a experience how to tackle with the social or environment hazardous conditions very well.
I am not totally against the youth to make entry in politics but it will be better to they come in the politics under the guidance of veteran politician. When the experience and young brain will come together then the future will be very definitely different, and progressive.
That's why I am fully agree with there is no need of binding a age limits for politician.
Thank you. |

There is no restrictions for electing young politicians as well as eliminating aged politicians. Actually what I want say is even though they became old not enough to walk if they have the desire to serve to the country there should not be retirement for them. |

I my opinion diversity should be maintained as youth is hot blooded and older persons are cold blooded but bloods are equally important for the progress of country. Youth are full of ideas and are energetic, active, can work in hectic environmental condition but lacks in experience. And just opposite in older politicians the are lethargic, less active and cannot work in hectic environment but they have vast knowledge which cost too much to our country. Actually politicians work in very responsible task and we have to represent our country in world. So using activeness ideas as well as experience can improve the conditions of country and helpful to citizens as well as our country.
Say for example budget preparation is an important task and youth alone cannot prepare well it needs experience as well as future thoughts which is possessed by older politicians. So I want to say that there should age for retirement of older politicians only from active politics not from politics completely.
They should be in committees and advisory council to guide youth to be a better politician and help youth to excel in there work. |

| Well I personally believe that there should be a retirement age. It not only give youngsters a chance to prove themselves but also it gives new directions of thinking and taking decisions. It is right that aged people are more experienced but a chance should be given to new brains also to make a right decision & to get an experience. Also the new generation is full of ideas & innovations. Not only this but aged people are not able to give their 100% because they are themselves weak & having health problems. So there should be a retirement age. |

If there is defined retirement age for IAS and IPS officers, Judges of Courts, Defense personnel, Bank Officers and all other Government workers then why not of politician ? They are also servants of Govt. Of India and there should be a fixed retirement age for them. Why is there all liberty provided to them ? Is there any doubt that young generation of India can't handle the situation and react appropriately ? In fact the probability of quick and correct decision (which is basic leadership quality) by a young man is more than that by an old age person. Why is the age limit for any job opening? Reason is every one know that a person can work at his/her best at young age when he/she is not struggling from any mental or physical problem.
As per my point of view this rule is also created by old days politicians who intentionally didn't specify any age limit, because no one wants to hit axe on their own leg. |

| In my opinion, diversification plays a very important role in every spehere. Unfortunately, in the present scenario, there is a dearth of young politicians in our country. I do not mean that we should not have older politicans rather I want to higlight the importance of having diversification in the Indian politics. Having people from each age group will be a great idea for the development of our country. It will provide the required platform for the exchange of different opinions and one of the ways of making it a reality is by having a retirement age for politicians because otherwise how will the younger population get the required opportunities. |

There is no relation between the age and politics. Means we can not say that which age group of politician will be good for our country. We can see the past and present politics of every country where both good and bad leaders have from all age groups. So only age group is not only criteria to choose the politician from any country. But the main thing about which we have to think that the person to whom we are choosing as a leader, having the quality to lead our country.
In actual our political parties are making us fool by introducing young leader. These all they are doing only for the vote.
We need only good politicians which may be from any age group. |

Whenever this system is challenged, it has always left adverse effects. So, continuing with the cycle of nature, retirement age should be implemented in politics also.
Also, the right age of retirement will help the newer generation to implement his ideas under the guidance of experts or else if there won't be the retirement age, who will guide the youngsters one day when all our experienced and aged politicians will die.
Hence I strongly agree with all of you. |

The retirement age of politicians should be decided considering the political atmosphere of the country. If we talk about the countries like US and UK where almost young people are participating at major economy level, the age of retirement should be around 50-55.
But when we talk about the country like India where we face the several issues like religion, communities, democracy, corruption etc. The age of retirement should be near 60-65 because for talking decisions on these issues some experienced person is needed and novice can not handle them.
Again the government of the country should conduct a survey of population, and based upon population mix the decision regarding retirement age limit should be taken. |

If the retirement age is made compulsory then many of them will get chances to prove their leadership qualities and then we have a chance to show the youth power of India to all the nations in the world. |

| Nowadays most of the politians are above 60 years of age while who are below 60 are the family members of the poltitians. Because of this some people who are really thinking of the nation are not getting the opportunity. This is causing due to corruption they are giving money and becoming politicians. First polititians were said to be social workers but now they are thinking it as a carreer for getting power and money. So the capability of the candidate must be given top priority rather than age. |

Why do we have retirement age as 60yrs for a Central Govt.employee....
It is an Unofficial Intimation to him by Govt. that
"BEYOND THIS AGE YOUR MIND WILL LOSE THE REQUIRED THINKING POWER TO PERFORM YOUR DUTIES.."
If a clerk working at his office cant perform his duties properly beyond this age, How come a politician who has to take care of a whole constituency or a whole state perform his duty efficiently..
But our political system is TO BE BLAMED,I say Our's is a Democratic Monarchy of two Big Parties...A person who joins one of these parties at a young age of 20-25 will become a leader after 30-35 yrs making his age close to 60 or 70... If he chooses to compete as an Independent he's not going to win as many of the voters are inclined towards the money distributed by others.
So the voters should start thinking of what's good for them and what's not, before blaming the Politicians... |

Yes, obviously it is must that the politicians should get retired by 60 so that by giving chance to energetic youth. Many politicians having their age above 60 are snatching the opportunities for youth from becoming a good politician.
Example-politicians suffering from blood pressure, sugar problems are getting effected by it and are facing disturbance in work. Mr. Karuna nidhi (Chennai) having eye problem, Mr. Sharad pawar (Maharashtra) having mouth cancer are serious problems which can effect their work. |

Hi all,
I genuinely feel that to give your best shot in any field you work. You need to be in good health. We all are very much aware of the fact that with age our body also starts giving in to loads of pressure and stress. As a result to work to your best of ability becomes difficult. To avoid ineffective work in running our country, I feel that there should be an age limit for politicians also. As we have an age of retirement for other government workers.
But I will also like to make a point here that experience also matters. Which the aged politicians have in plenty. And it can be of help if they work as consultants to the younger generation politicians. This will give them and opportunity to work as well as subject the young politicians to the nuances of the political arena. |

Yes, it is very benefit to the youth to enter into the politics if there must be the retirement age for the old politicians. So that there may be a change in our corrupted politics. Along with this, the inherit politics should be removed. Take an example of the Indian prime Ministers. At first Jawaharlal Nehru,next his daughter Indira Gandhi, next Indira Gandhi's son Rajiv Gandhi, now Rajiv's son Rahul Gandhi may be India's prime Minister. After few years, there should be dynasty in our India, not democracy. So the inheritence in politics must be cleaned up.
Another main concept is, to put the retirement age for politicians. For example, RamVilas paswan, LJP president has ellected as MP for 7 times consequently. So I would like to support this issue because I want to be a politician |
