YOUNG PEOPLE,OLD RULERS

If we talk about politics in India it is like discussing about the hell on earth . Specially ,the politics in last two decades has gone down and people look politicions as someone who cheat them by a fair mean. 'Fair mean' here I describe it because it is the public only who elects their representatives for the local bodies,state assembly and for sansad. India is a country where more than 60% of the population is young. But the rulers of the country are old. Ministers,M.L.As,M.Ps are mostly above 60 years of age. There is big gap between the people ruling us and the generation suppose to be a future of the nation. We have a long political system and a person willing to be a M.P,M.L.A in a young age, has to follow a long political system process till that he also become older or over age for the nation. Our Prime Minister is 76 yrs. old, external minister is 77 yrs. old,home minister is 65 yre.old,finance minister is 74 yrs. old,petroleum minister is 72 yrs. old,defence minister is 70 yrs. old,law minister is 69 yrs. old, minister of power is 68 yrs. old,surface transport minister is 64 yrs. old, even the minister of youth affairs and sports is 74 yrs. old, leader of the opposition L.K Advani is 82 yrs. old. In previous U.P.A government human resource development minister Arjun Singh is 81 yrs. old. Chief minister of Tamil Nadu is unable to stand on his legs and at the 84 yrs. of age he is ruling the state. C.M of Karnataka is 69 yrs. of age, C.M of Delhi is 68 yrs.old, lok sabha speaker is 66 yrs. old, C.M of Assam is 70 yrs. old, C.M of Kerala is above 75 yrs. of age. B.S Sehkavat wae vice president of the country at the 76 yrs. of age, A.B Vajpayee was P.M at the age of 74 yrs. Ram Parkash Gupta was sworn as the C.M of U.P when he was 81 yrs. old, C.M of Punjab is above 75 yrs. old,Babu lal Gaur (Ex. C.M of M.P) was C.M at a age of 73 yrs.
I know that as the age increases , exprience also increases and in politics exprience has more value than anything else. But the question is that when the new generation is going to take over from the old leaders. No doubt this time in the 15th lok sabha maximum young leaders are elected, the total no. is 82, who are below 40 yrs. of age. But again this is not good for the nation because most of these newly elected young M.Ps belong to the political families only.
