Hi friends,

In my opinion every politicians after his/her particular age they should be retirement in India very few youngsters are an politicians. This situation have to be change in youth only have traits, education, maturity to handle any critical situations clearly. So youngster should develop his/her interest towards political.

According to me, it is better to set a duration of some five years for a person to continue in politics irrespective of his age. Because in this duration, the people who have elected the person will come to know the ability of the candidate.

This duration is sufficient for a person to serve the people if he really had such a desire. According to me, a person's strong will towards achieving overall progress of the nation and the concern about the people matters, not the age limit. So setting a retirement age for politicians is illogical one.

If a person is really willing to serve the people he can do that at any age. An ideal politician will always support the youth so that even they get the opportunity as they don't bother about their position and power.

Hi friends. I agree with some points and my opinion is, retiring a politician doesn't make sense because they might get more experienced by age and not expired, however, considering the young budding politicians, the old expert level politicians can be formed with two panels such as an objective critic panel and an advisory body in order to guide the young politicians.

In my view a person's ability to work and serve the nation cannot be judged by his age. As politician are meant to take decision for the whole country. So experience is very much required. But I also think there should be a balance between the energy and experience. For a proper growth we need innovative ideas and that enthusiasm which will come from the youth.

I think retirement is must because the majority of politicians are busy for making money may be its legal or illegal so it ts compulsory to retirement for position according to their record, not an age.

This is not good for our country because retirement people take rest after retirement and enjoying his life. I think ministers and legislators always elect those candidate those have completed mpsc and upsc those knowledgeble people are leading great than uneducated minister.

Hi friends,

Pankaj Chahakar.

Their is no need of politician age to be consider for retirement, they have a more experience than youngster and they can face some certain situation can get solution by their experience and one thing younger can do every thing because they have ability. And we should go with younger they are the future of our country they are making our country develop and knowledgeable, if the politician is too much older and can't take proper decision it has to be retire it self and we can consider him as a political guru.

Hello,

Well, I agree with most of you who says that retirement is necessary for politicians. To support my points I would say that from the 1st term or 2nd term of joining polities he could do everything needed either for developing purpose or getting money for personal gains and then after that the remaining years will be because of the wealth, respect and reputation which would help him to stay in polities that will have nothing to do with the country's development. So, its better to have a retirement age for a politicians.

I think retirement age for politician is must. Because first of all politicians are mainly a human being. As age crosses above 65 humans feel tired, his mental and physical ability reduces. I didn't think that politician above age 65 should rest at home. They had another option to guide young politicians.
