BJP goes easy over age, turns to warhorses to retain power in MP

IndiaTimes Monday, 13 November 2023
The saffron party seems to have gone a bit easy over age this time by fielding 14 candidates who are 70-plus, with the oldest being 80. In contrast, the opposition Congress has fielded nine septuagenarians for the November 17 polls. According to political observers, BJP's move to go with warhorses could be the fallout of its drubbing in the Karnataka elections where it apparently picked younger candidates over old-timers like former chief minister Jagadish Shettar (67) and ex-deputy CM KS Eshwarappa, then 74.
