NEW DELHI, Aug 28: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has qualified his statement about the idea of retiring at 75 years of age, which was widely seen as a reference to PM Narendra Modi.
“At the Sangh fucntion in Nagpur, I was quoting a witticism by Moropant ji (senior Sangh leader Moreshwar Nilkanth Pingle aka 'Moropant') about how when someone gives you a ceremonial shawl at 75, you should think of retirement,” he said on Thursday, later adding, “I never said I will or someone else should retire.”
Bhagwat was responding to pre-submitted questions at a press conference in New Delhi, part of the RSS centenary events.
