Grief engulfs Baramati after the fatal plane crash that snatched away Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar. BJP leader Navneet Rana, visibly moved, proclaimed that Ajit Dada’s unique leadership is lost forever.
Rana shared personal reflections: ‘Ajit Dada embodied reliability—true to his word of working till his dying breath. His unbreakable bond with Baramati meant his last breath was taken here.’ She praised his exemplary development work, noting how he backed every party worker and inspired emerging leaders like herself.
Echoing the pain, a Baramati resident said, ‘His death stalls our progress. Who will champion Baramati now? The reality hasn’t sunk in yet.’
Pawar revolutionized the area through agricultural advancements, cooperative strengthening, and holistic growth. Beloved as ‘Dada,’ he served as Deputy CM more times than most, cementing his legacy.
In a related development, NCP MLA Pratap Patil Chikhalikar called on Sunetra Ajit Pawar to helm the party and the Deputy CM post. Crash investigations proceed, with full details to follow.
Pawar’s humility and service ethic remain inspirational. Maharashtra mourns a visionary whose contributions will echo through generations.
