RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat clarified that he never spoke of retiring at PM Modi or someone else at the age of 75 years. The BJP has also said that there is no rule of retirement after the age of 75 years.
Modi retirement rumors: Will PM Narendra Modi be ‘retired’ after his 75th birthday in September? He will step down according to an undeclared ‘rule’ within the BJP and its ideological patron RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh). On Thursday, such speculation was rejected by RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat.
Mohan Bhagwat said- I did not say that I will retire
In a press conference held on the occasion of RSS being 100 years old, Bhagwat (who will be 75 years old from the Prime Minister) said, “I never said that I will retire or someone else should retire when he is 75 years old.” They said,
We are volunteers in the Sangh. We have been given a job. Whether we want or not. If I am 80 years old and someone says go, run a branch, I have to go. I cannot say that 75 years have been completed. Now I want to enjoy retirement. Whatever we are asked to do, we do the same.

Will the Prime Minister retire at the age of 75? What is BJP’s answer?
The BJP has repeatedly said that there is no such rule under which Narendra Modi has to resign after the age of 75 years. The 80 -year -old Jitan Ram Manjhi of Bihar is a minister in the central government. Many people in the government, including the Prime Minister, are within one or two years from the 75 -year border.
What is the opposition to say on the age limit of 75 years?
The opposition cited senior BJP leaders like LK Advani and Murali Manohar Joshi. In 2019, when he was 92 and 90 years old, he was dropped from the party. In the same year, 76 -year -old Bhagat Singh Koshyari and 85 -year -old BC Khanduri and other BJP leaders were also dropped from the party.

During the Lok Sabha elections 2024, Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal had said, “He (Narendra Modi) will retire next year. He is seeking votes to make Amit Shah the Prime Minister.” At that time, Amit Shah had said that BJP does not need retirement from leaders above 75 years of age. The opposition’s satire on Narendra Modi’s ‘resignation’ emerged again in March when he visited the RSS headquarters in Nagpur for the first time in 11 years or after becoming Prime Minister.
