Yes, I agree to you Rajender Singh, but it should be ensured that the youngsters should not be corrupt minded. Youngsters are the future of our nation. They should manage the country responsibly. If done, the country soon will be fully developed.

No, there is no need to set a retirement age for politicians. We have seen many examples of leaders, our country has had, many of them, despite of their old age they did great job in the Indian politics, and there are also examples of young leaders who couldn't perform well in it, so in the history of Indian politics and even in the present scenario, I think age didn't matter. And also we do need some experienced leaders in our political system to run it efficiently with the help of their experience.

I think politicians who are above 60 needs a rest so age limit should be 60 because as you know in every govt employee has retirement age of 60 so they are not experienced? They are not well versed in the field? Then how come politicians continue there journey after 60.

And people who are now at 60 has many health issue they sleep in the Rajya Sabha hall, they get sleep in the meeting hall there are many peoples are disturbed with there health nowadays.

And for every issues they use old traditional method to solve, today we are surrounded with technology, till today same old papers are running on the table of Govt employee so when expect the change, definitely change is needed, we are dreaming for digital India to come true.

So I strongly feel politician age limit should be fixed.

Yes, of course we, the people should agree that nothing is static. So there is a need of retirement for politicians too. So even now, if they don't go ahead with retirement policy, people remains same and too problem remains same. We knows that experienced remains a lot.

Even now, the experienced candidates are head of our Indian politics and still they are fighting against their own matters not people matters. So if they retired at a certain age, may be some other people stands out and win, further they might change our nation tremendously better than others.

Changes will always change something.

Thank you.

According to my point of view, there must be retirement age to politicians so that the new younger people who entered into politics and haven't made any corruptions will make some of bills like Lokpal against corruption. Moreover in developed countries like america the terms for president are two only.

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.

Hello everyone,

According to me, the politicians are one of the important asset for a country. The thing that we expect from the politicians is good decision making capability in favor of the country.

The most important thing for this is his diplomatic and political knowledge and experience. To become a decision maker, takes a lot of time. So, I support that there should be no age limit for politicians.

Hi friends,

An aged politician can be more knowledgeable but look at the other part of his physical strengths which is also equally important, an aged politician cannot show up enthusiasm. In country like India people always wish their leader to be enthusiastic, dynamic, physically and mentally fit. So in nut shell to say retirement slab for politicians is a healthy move.

But along with that we also need great energy and positive spirit which youngsters have. So, in my opinion the ruling body or cabinet should also have a reservation for young leaders making it a combination of experience and energy.
