Uma Bharti Rejects 75-Year Retirement Rule and Urges Organisations to Define Tenure

She argued that institutions, not arbitrary age limits, should decide when public servants step aside.

Overview

  • She declined to comment on RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s citation of Moropant Pingle about retiring at age 75, noting she is not part of the Sangh’s traditional organisation.
  • She maintained that teachers, doctors, lawyers, poets and journalists never truly retire and must serve as long as their organisations require.
  • Bharti affirmed she remains active in politics and said she is ready to contest elections if the BJP grants her a ticket.
  • She urged IAS and IPS officers to uphold the same level of probity as elected officials to strengthen governance and curb corruption.
  • She asserted the government has full authority to ban liquor, called for a de-addiction campaign and stressed that cows will be protected when farmers rear them in support of government efforts.
