There should be retirement age in politics. Even though politicians say that age is just a number and that they can continue to serve as long as they want, it is not fair on their part to cling on to power . They should give way for younger people. There is always a chance of emotions taking over your intellect. Actions cannot keep pace with thoughts. The government should fix 76 to 80 years as retirement age in politics. It is absolutely not right for any politicians to enjoy so many comforts at the tax payer's expense even into their 80s and 90s. I doubt whether this will ever happen in Indian politics. I wish all the first time MPs a great innings in the 18th Lok Sabha. Our young nation comprising of maximum young voters look upto them and politics requires young blood. I hope and pray that there will come a time when we will have at least 50 per cent of our MPs below the age of 60. While we insist on injecting young blood in other professions, our system fails to set any benchmarks in politics.
