A catastrophic plane crash has claimed the life of Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar and five companions, plunging the political fraternity into mourning. DGCA’s grim verification has sparked widespread tributes, highlighting Pawar’s cross-party respect.
Envisioned for Baramati rallies crucial to local polls, Pawar’s journey ended abruptly. Rescue operations yielded no survivors, intensifying the national shockwave.
Congress heavyweight Priyanka Gandhi Vadra conveyed sympathies directly to bereaved kin, bridging aisles in grief. Pramod Tiwari, skeptical of initial broadcasts, invoked blessings for the impossible. Vivek Tankha, informed mid-conversation, stressed Pawar’s greatness and familial bonds, praying fervently.
NCP (SCP)’s Fauzia Khan processed media alerts quietly. RSP MP Premchandran decried the ‘jolt,’ noting the official entourage’s peril.
Prominently, BJD’s Mishra chronicled Pawar’s journey: from Sharad Pawar’s shadow to independent faction head, Deputy CM role, irrigation stewardship, and dominion over Pune-Baramati politics.
This void challenges Maharashtra’s stability amid brewing elections. Pawar’s tactical acumen defined recent upheavals; his strategies influenced power dynamics profoundly. As forensic teams dissect the wreckage, scrutiny mounts on aviation protocols. Pawar’s legacy—marked by bold decisions and regional clout—will inspire successors, uniting foes in remembrance of a formidable force.
