Trinamool Congress general secretary Abhishek Banerjee on December 4 once again triggered debate over an upper age limit in the party by pointing out that productivity “decreases slightly” with age.
“The veteran leaders are extremely necessary for any party due to their experience to fight. However, their productivity decreases slightly with age. I think there should be a maximum limit (in terms of age) in every field, including sports and politics,” Mr. Banerjee told presspersons at the airport.
The remarks by the Trinamool leader ahead of the Lok Sabha election resulted in a lot of speculation in the ruling party in West Bengal.
