Ahmedabad: Pakistan-born Arjun Parmar may be pushing 90 but is confident of his chances from Jamnagar South as an independent. At 25, Harsh Goklani has just hit the cut-off age to fight elections. The duo represent the opposite ends of the age spectrum in the first phase of the Gujarat polls on December 1.
