New Delhi, July 7
NCP chief Sharad Pawar today asserted his effectiveness remains unchanged regardless of whether he is 82 or 92 years old and that he is the president of the party.
“I am still effective, whether I am 82 or 92 and I am the president of the party,” Sharad said after the party’s national executive meeting in Delhi. He said this while responding to recent remarks made by his nephew Ajit Pawar, who took a veiled swipe at his age.
Ajit had indirectly blamed Sharad, who is 82 years old, for the NCP’s missed opportunity to have a Chief Minister in Maharashtra despite having the support of a majority of MLAs in 2014.
“Today’s meeting helped boost our morale… I am the president of NCP,” he said as he presided over a crucial national executive meeting here. He further said now, whatever “we need to say, we will say it before the Election Commission of India”.
