Grief-stricken after losing his father in a horrific aviation mishap, Jay Pawar, son of the late Ajit Pawar, has shared a soul-stirring social media post. The message, paired with nostalgic images, lays bare the anguish of a son robbed of his guiding light.
The caption reads: ‘I miss you terribly, Dad. Oh, how I wish time stood still. I’d embrace you tightly and cherish eternity. Dad, you’re in every thought.’ Circulated on Instagram and WhatsApp, it has sparked an outpouring of sympathy from followers and well-wishers.
Jay, immersed in familial cooperative ventures, embodies discretion in a flashy political world. Baramati folk and NCP insiders praise his low-key demeanor and active role in electioneering for Lok Sabha, assembly, and latest civic polls, all without courting publicity.
January 28 marked the end of an era: Ajit Pawar’s plane plummeted during Baramati runway approach amid campaign duties for zilla parishad elections. Five lives lost, including the veteran leader’s. Final rites on January 29 drew overflowing multitudes to Vidya Pratisthan Grounds.
Political gears shifted rapidly – Sunetra Pawar now holds Deputy CM post with oversight of Excise, Sports, and Minority Development. Preceding her Baramati return, she honored Yashwantrao Chavan in Karad. Mourners can pay respects at Katewadi’s ‘Sahyog’ residence till 4 PM Tuesday.
This personal elegy from Jay Pawar amid familial and party upheavals underscores resilience. As Maharashtra’s politics realigns, the Pawar legacy endures through such poignant moments.
