Now, I will work more effectively, whether 82 or 92 it doesn't matter," said Pawar. The statement comes is understood to be in response to questions about being ridiculed about his age by his nephew Ajit Pawar.

"We have complete confidence in the Election Commission. We will approach the Election Commission. We are clear about the legal position. If anything adverse happens then we will move the appropriate authority. But, I don't think things will come to that pass," Pawar said.
