Hi,

This is Dinesh.

According to me, the retirement of a politician should be fixed because after 60 years. The mind of people's be distracted and he had do thinking to improve the condition of India like an advisor so he does behave like a child so I want that it should be because they are not capable for this. "thank you'.

If we allow without any age limit, others who are interested in being public representatives will not get a chance. Those who served two terms should be declared ineligible for contesting in elections, and more over 60 years of age should be made an upper age limit, for contesting for Assembly or Parliament.

Yes I agree that retirement must be there for politician after a certain period because politician are also human being and after a certain age they get prone to the health related issue and in many jobs there is retirement age because of the same reason so there should be retirement age in politics.

Whilst senior politician would have valuable knowledge and experience generally they more conventional approach which act as barrier to new thoughts and ideas, having set a retirement age for politician would ensure that a person knows reign of power would end at a definite point of time and he may have to answer for any misappropriation sooner rather than later.

Some politician have a wealth of knowledge and experience, which is essential for the role but in order to ensure that one does not remain in seat of power indefinitely. And young people are able to take key positions in political arena, thus contribution fresh ideas and new perspective, it is essential that politicians also retire at a predetermined age.

I think politicians should have retirement age limit i.e, 60-65 years in between. Because youth has great ideas to develop the country by guidance of senior leaders. The senior politicians or leaders best to give them a chance to get a good position in our democracy.

In all fields, besides politics and business, there should be a retirement age. But in case of politics experience matters. Because with the increment in age you are going to gain experience and with the help of experience you could do better than any other young blood experience is like an entropy which always increases with time. So, if experience has no age to be gained then I must say there should be no retirement age for politician.

My opinion is there should be no age limit for retirement of politician because the senior citizen can known all the well development for the country. Nowadays most of the young persons are entering into the politics and they are making more illegal activities instead of giving them a chance we have to choose seniors for making good decisions. Most of the young persons don't know how to make decisions, but where has a senior person has a experience to make a right decision.

In my point of view, there is a some loss and some benefit by giving the retirement age to positions. If we provide retirement age we lose the great experienced persons. At the same time, we provide the retirement age of chance to participate young and energetic persons. So we provide the retirement age based on talent in solving the problems faced by the country at any time.

I think retirement in politics is a very important factor. If you would not keep any retirement requirement then the aged people will not leave their positions for the young generation. Keeping in mind the future generation is always advanced in thinking and working they may perform very greatly. Giving a hold of power for a long time in one's hand may result in greedy thinking and miss use of politics and even if they have an experience they may use it in their own favor. In politics experience of 20 to years is more than sufficient by my opinion. As you will keep age limit in politics there will naturally be young people with courage and passion as well as aged people having experience. Experienced close to retirement may help young generation in guidance.

Decision made by young people may probably based on detailed information which will lead to proper development. (REQUIREMENT:-for which the young politician should be of proper qualifications).

By proper calculation of different age population in India and its probability, you may fix age limit on that basis where you may have proper age flow in politics with young as well as experienced generation. Thus age limit is essential in politics.
