    do we need such old people as ministers, if he is suffering for such a long time from illness, what national duty can he perform, all his medical bills become a liability to the nation (common peoples' tax) being a minister of such important ministry and not in a position to attend the office, its a huge shame to our nation. its time we fix a retirement age to politicians as government employees have. we have politicians who go on wheelchairs, who cannot talk, who cannot listen, foreign visits for medical treatment and finally die.
    Shame on us, do not vote for people above 70 , jai hind

    The labour Minister should be always young who can roam all over India and have first hand knowledge about the deteriorating conditions of Indian Labours.
