SOTN: Sharmila, Shobha De root for young India

The results of our State of the Nation Poll conducted by GFK Mode for CNN-IBN in partnership with the Hindustan Times reveals that a majority of our elders want politicians to hang in their boots at the age of 60. They say that politicians must retire at the age of 60 and give way to young blood. The poll also shows that our 60 plus population gives more regard to ability over experience in politics. This view was felt more strongly by residents of metros with 80 per cent of them agreeing that there should be a retirement age while 61 per cent in small town gave the idea a thumbs up.
