Dilemma of 75 : Shall PM Modi Step Down?

Every era in politics raises a question larger than any leader: when is the right time to step aside for a political leader? Prime Minister Narendra Modi,who has spent over two decades in top leadership and more than a decade as India’s Prime Minister, is now nearing the age of 75.This moment carries added weight as the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the ideological parent of the BJP has long held an informal rule that leaders should retire from active politics at this age,a principle that has seen senior figures step aside in the past.

Now the question that lingers in the minds of every Indian, be it political enthusiasts or not is whether this milestone will mark the end of Modi's active role or will he continue to serve the nation further.
