Should India’s politicians

have a retirement age?
O
ne cannot feel guilty about not being able to perceive Ajit Pawar,
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister, and nephew of NCP founder
and Maratha strongman Sharad Pawar, as a great reformer or an
eager champion of systemic changes in the larger interest of the
people of the state.
Aired as moral advice to his uncle Sharad Pawar, now 83 years old, to
retire, his angst is being seen as avarice even by his own partymen. The
junior Pawar had beseeched the patriarch: “Give us your blessings… How
long will you continue to be in politics?” Interestingly, it is a question the
people of India have been asking, too, but in vain, when it comes to the
unending careers of politicians.
Of course, it is foolhardy to expect legislators and politicians to make any
law in the absence of strong public pressure, especially one that would
result in the ending of their own careers.
There are two clear aspects to the career of a

INDIA CRICKET
TEAMS TO TAKE
PART IN ASIAD
Mumbai, July 7: The Apex
Council of the BCCI on
Friday approved the partici-
pation of the men’s and
women’s teams for the Asian
Games in Hangzhou in
September-October.
A second-string Indian
team will participate in the
men’s competition, begin-
ning September 28 while a
full-strength side will be
picked for the women’s
event, beginning September
19.
Cricket has been played
only thrice in the Asian
Games history and the last
time it was held in Incheon
in 2014 when India did not
take part. The competition
coincides with crucial time
for men’s team with India
hosting the ODI World Cup
from October 5. In a note,
BCCI said considering the
crowded international
schedule, it will be a chal-
lenge to field a team at Asian
Games but contributing to
the national cause is also
important. India will be
favourites to win gold both
in men and women cate-
gories.
Meanwhile, no consensus
could be reached on the cool-
ing-off period for retired
players to take part in over-
seas T20 leagues. The trend
of players plying their trade
in overseas leagues right
after their retirement from
international cricket or IPL
has irked the board. — PTI
