Is it necessary to set a minimum qualification of our politicians to qualify for elections? It can be different for different seats for different elections.
We can set high school for local bodies and for state and national elections a degree in any subject. Do we have enough degree holders in our parliament and state assemblies? Any idea of education of your local MP or MLA?

Former of Chief Minister of Tmailnadu, Mr. Kamaraj played a vital role inspiteof being illliterate. He introduced the Free noon meal scheme in all the schools because he knew the importance of education.

Free meals may sound free but these cost a lot to everyone including the ones who are beneficiary of those freebies. If they had spent that amount for infrastructure honestly, that would have changed the fate of this country. Free meals, laptops, sarees are nothing but kind of bribes and ensuring future voters.

I agree with you absolutely. All freebie schemes should be stopped. 30 years back, free noon meal sheme made lakhs of people educated. But now it needs to be reconsidered.

I think minimum qualification should be graduate on regular basis, a retirement age should be there, as per constitution an entry age of 25 for qualification of MPs so retirement age for politicians as well as lawyers.

I too feel that there should be a retirement age for politicians from active politics or atleast holding high level posts in politics like it is anywhere else...We can see what is happening when we have a 80+ Pm who is probably gone senile and is being used like a puppet..

But that can happen to a 40 years old as well, just in case. And you know what I mean so age is not that important as long he is good to deal with situations. :laugh:

Age does not matter even a person in his thirties is far more incapable than a person in sixties, but the question here is , service holders retire after certain age, they why cannot lawyers and politicians?

When an individual in the normal course of events reaches the highest cadre , being the central ministry and also a probable PM he or she would have gone through a lot of hard work and come face to face with people and their problems, which has not been the case with our now PM , who looks and behaves as if he is in a trance most of the time...Similarly the one the congress party is trying to thrust on the nation is anything but committed except carrying the family name on his forehead.So age here really doesnt play any part ! What is needed is a rounded personality with age and experience and more than anythig a clean record...
