JAISALMER: BJP state president Satish Poonia has started a new debate by saying the retirement age in politics should be 70 years. On the possibility of the BJP central leadership bringing a new formula to give tickets to people aged 70 years and above in the forthcoming assembly elections in Rajasthan, Poonia said it is his personal opinion and if the party takes such a decision, then there is nothing wrong.
“It is important to focus on how new people and young generation get associated. It was experimented in many states and has been successful,” he said. Poonia added that earlier too the average age of block and district presidents used to be 60 plus years which has now been reduced to 35-40 years.
