RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat has stirred political discussions by reiterating the Sangh’s principle that leaders should retire at the age of 75. While he did not name anyone directly, his remarks have been widely interpreted as a message to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who turns 75 this year.
The comment has sparked intense debate, especially among the opposition, which has long questioned the BJP’s double standards on age and leadership transitions. Leaders from parties like the Congress and AAP have challenged Modi to lead by example if the principle truly applies.
The BJP, on the other hand, has maintained silence on the matter so far. Party insiders suggest that Bhagwat’s statement could also be a broader call for leadership renewal within the party structure rather than a direct target. However, the timing and context have kept the issue firmly in the spotlight.
