PM Modi's '25 Years Still Remaining' Remark Sparks Political Debate

• PM Modi made a light-hearted remark about his age during 'Pariksha Pe Charcha', stating '25 years still remaining' when a leader reminded him of turning 75.
• The comment revived discussions around BJP's informal practice of leaders stepping aside after 75, a debate intensified as PM Modi turned 75 in September 2025.
• RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's humorous remark about a shawl at 75 symbolizing retirement also fueled speculation, especially since both he and PM Modi turned 75 in 2025.
• Opposition parties questioned if the 75-year principle would apply to PM Modi, citing past instances of senior BJP figures like LK Advani moving to Margdarshak Mandal.
• BJP leadership, including Amit Shah and Rajnath Singh, has dismissed retirement suggestions, stating no such provision exists in the party constitution and PM Modi will lead until 2029.
