Prime Minister Modi is 67 years old.
During his speeches before the 2014 election, Narendra Modi questioned the Manmohan Singh government on falling rupee prices asking whose age in the government was being denoted by the dip in rupee. On one occasion, he had even compared the falling rupee to then Finance Minister P Chidambaram who was then 67 years old.
