Politicians benefit under legal exclusion provisions Government servants retire between the ages of 57 to 60 years. The reasons cited are the inability to bear workload in a single department and the need to create employment opportunities for the younger generation. These arguments apply even more convincingly to septuagenarian and octogenarian politicians who cling to power until their last breath, often holding key positions at state and national levels.Extension to Doctors and Professors seem reasonable but extensions deny opportunity to those waiting in wings
The self-imposed “75-year retirement rule” for politicians appears to be conveniently ignored. While ordinary citizens dutifully pay income tax, many politicians earning between ₹30–40 lakhs annually, with additional perks and freebies, seem above the law. Some even enjoy dual pensions under legal cover. The burden of indirect taxes like GST falls equally on rich and poor alike. Concessions often favour the affluent—reductions on luxury goods like cars stimulate the economy, but provide little relief to those who struggle for basic needs. Meanwhile, the poor and students bear the rising costs of essentials such as stationery. The rich ride in comfort, the middle class fuels the economy with aspirations, and the poor continue to suffer in silence.
