It looks like the Bhishma of politics, Sharad Pawar is tired. He wants to say good bye to politics and lead peaceful life.
Nationalist Congress Party leader Sharad Pawar, 83, hinted at retirement as he said he may not contest any more elections after his Rajya Sabha term ends in 18 months.
The veteran politician – who set up the NCP in 1999 and is widely regarded as the ‘grand old man’ of Maharashtra politics – was speaking at his family stronghold of Baramati in western Maharashtra, which
will see a Pawar vs Pawar contest in the November 20 Assembly election.
“I am not in power… and my tenure in the Rajya Sabha has one-and-a-half years left. After that I will not contest any election in the future. (I) will have to stop somewhere…” he said, thanking
the voters of Baramati for making him an MP and MLA a staggering 14 times overall.
