Addressing his supporters, who turned up in numbers in a show of strength, Ajit Pawar attacked uncle Sharad over continuing as president of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) despite being 83 while referring to other political leaders. While addressing the gathering he said, "IAS officers retire at 60...even in politics-BJP leaders retire at 75. You can see the example of LK Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi...That allows the new generation to rise...You (Sharad Pawar) give us your blessings....The other day, he went to YB Chavan memorial...I have also been there...but you are 83, aren`t you going to stop?
