NCP chief Sharad Pawar, who will turn 79 in December, said on Wednesday, 9 October that he is still young, and will not rest until he defeats the ruling BJP-Shiv Sena in Maharashtra.
The veteran leader was addressing a rally in Akola's Balapur ahead of the 21 October state elections.
A party leader, speaking at the rally before Pawar, mentioned that the latter is crisscrossing the state for campaigning “at this age”.
Pawar said in his speech, “Somebody said I am campaigning at this age. I am the president of your party. Don't say it again. Have I become old?”
