"Yes I want to work as a sweeper and collect and clean the garbage, whatever old people make in the old age homes. That is how I decided to serve people in Maharashtra. This will continue to keep me in work and do social service as I don't have ministry now," said scam tainted Minister Ajit Pawar to India Satire correspondent.

He said "I am a by default a social worker and never remain alive without social work. Social work is in my genes. Even in my dreams I work for society.

Therefore, I thought I should do all these thankless things."
