Creating shock among the gathering and protests from his supporters, Nationalist Congress Party-SP President Sharad Pawar, who will turn 84 next month, on Tuesday indicated that he wants to call it a day in politics - after putting in 57 years in the dust and grime of periodic elections.
"I still have another one-and-half years left in the Rajya Sabha... Need to think about whether I should continue further. I don't want to contest any more elections now," the 'young' octogenarian, sharp and sprightly as ever, said at a 'Swabhiman' poll rally in Shirsuphal village for his grand-nephew Yugendra S. Pawar of NCP-SP, who is contesting against his uncle Nationalist Congress Party President and Deputy CM Ajit A. Pawar from the prestigious Baramati Assembly constituency in one of the most avidly watched poll battles in the November 20 Maharashtra Assembly elections.
