"Pawar Saheb is in excellent health. He will return home soon," Raut said adding that the 80-year-old leader is obviously not missing out on politics which has been his passion for the past over 55 years.
Late on Thursday, NCP National Spokesperson Nawab Malik announced that Pawar was in "the pink of health", responding well to the treatment, has been permitted to walk around and even eat solid food.
Past couple of days, Pawar's daughter and Baramati MP Supriya Sule had posted photos of her bespectacled father, wearing a blue-black checked hospital gown, carefully scanning through the morning newspapers to keep himself updated.
