Shashi Tharoor says this on debate over PM Modi and Rahul Gandhi's age

Hindustan Times  

Ahead of the fourth phase of the Lok Sabha election, the age of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi are in discussion after Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal said Narendra Modi would retire next year after turning 75. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on the other hand, said the Congress will get fewer seats than the age of its shahzada -- Rahul Gandhi. Explained In his first rally after coming out of Tihar, Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday said voting for PM Modi this election would actually mean voting for Amit Shah as the prime minister as Narendra Modi would turn 75 in 2025 and retire from politics going by the party rules. BJP leaders, including Amit Shah, dismissed Kejriwal's speculation and said Narendra Modi would complete his term as it is not written anywhere in BJP's constitution that he can't be the prime minister after turning 75.
