The nation is reeling from the Baramati plane tragedy that felled Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar on January 28. Veteran thespian Gajendra Chauhan voiced raw emotion, terming the event a colossal setback for Indian politics.
‘Dada’s gone—it’s a devastating loss for Maharashtra and beyond,’ Chauhan said, visibly moved. The morning’s rumor quickly solidified into grim reality on news screens, shattering hopes and igniting widespread prayers in vain.
Pawar’s legacy, Chauhan asserted, was forged in relentless struggle. Elevating Baramati and championing statewide advancement, he served as a dynamic Deputy CM. ‘Bold and unyielding, he turned visions into reality and spearheaded Maharashtra’s transformative changes,’ the actor recounted.
Personal anecdotes added depth: fleeting meets at Mumbai and Nagpur airports, chatting casually about epics like Mahabharat. No deep ties, yet profound admiration for Pawar’s public service. ‘His administrative acumen and politician’s heart beat for the people.’
Chauhan pondered life’s fragility, especially for promising leaders cut short. Pawar’s role in governance was crucial, his departure a profound wound. Extending sympathies to the bereaved family, he captured the sentiment: Maharashtra will miss this indomitable force dearly.
