Amid the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) crisis in Maharashtra, NCP leader and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar today took a jibe at Sharad Pawar and said: "You portrayed me as a villain in front of everyone. I still have deep respect for him (Sharad Pawar). But you tell me, IAS officers retire at 60, even in politics, BJP leaders retire at 75. You can see the example of LK Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi. That allows the new generation to rise. You (Sharad Pawar) give us your blessings. But you are 83, are you not going to stop? Give us your blessings and we will pray that you live a long life."
