Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar has hit back at his nephew Ajit Pawar's suggestion that he should retire from politics, saying that he is not old yet and will continue to serve the people. He also denied unfairly sidelining Ajit, pointing out that his daughter, Supriya Sule, had not been given ministerial positions despite deserving them. Sharad Pawar began his campaign with a rally in Yeola, Nashik, which was seen as an attempt to rebuild the party.
