RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat’s recent comments on retirement age have sparked political debate. As per RSS tradition, leaders of its affiliated organizations, including BJP, are expected to step down after turning 75. This has raised questions about Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is 74, and whether he can continue if NDA wins another term.
Although Bhagwat did not mention Modi directly, many political observers see his remarks as an indirect signal. Modi’s supporters argue that the comments still allow him to serve another term.
The discussion highlights the tension between organizational rules and public expectations. Analysts point out that retirement norms often bend in favor of strong leadership and electoral mandates. Bhagwat’s statement has therefore intensified speculation about succession planning and Modi’s political future.
The issue is now at the center of national debate, reflecting both curiosity and uncertainty about leadership stability.
