Surrounded by party workers, including 32 of NCP`s 53 MLAs, newly-inducted Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Wednesday told his 83-year-old uncle Sharad Pawar that it was time for him to retire. Both Pawars addressed separate meetings, their first after the July 2 split in the 24-year-old party.
"In BJP, leaders retire at 75, when are you going to stop,” Ajit said, speaking at the meeting convened by him at Bhujbal Knowledge City in Bandra as a show of strength.
