In a tragic turn of events, Maharashtra lost one of its prominent political leaders when Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) stalwart Ajit Pawar died in a plane crash in Baramati. While initial reports described the incident as an accident, the controversy deepened when NCP leader Rohit Pawar raised doubts about the circumstances surrounding the tragedy.
Rohit Pawar, speaking at a press conference, questioned whether the Baramati crash was merely an accident or a deliberate act. He said, “I have lost my uncle in this accident, and Maharashtra has lost a leader. We deserve answers to all our doubts, and until we get them, we will continue to pursue this matter.”
Taking to social media, Rohit shared a detailed presentation highlighting his concerns. According to him, these are not just speculative questions; each point is backed with substantial reasoning. He encouraged the media to view and download the full presentation via a shared link and expressed hope for a prompt response from both state and central investigative agencies.
During the press briefing, Rohit Pawar highlighted several puzzling aspects. Ajit Pawar was originally scheduled to travel by car from Mumbai to Pune the day before the crash, and his convoy had already left. Why did he change plans at the last moment? He was reportedly scheduled to meet a high-profile political leader, raising questions about the timing and significance of the journey. Referring to a book he cited, Rohit noted that targeting a person via their driver is often the easiest method, hinting at possible foul play. According to him, these details point to irregularities that warrant thorough investigation.
The plane crash has intensified political debates in Maharashtra. Opposition parties have highlighted that the NCP was reportedly undergoing talks of mergers at the time, which, they argue, makes the timing of the crash suspicious. While senior NCP leader Sharad Pawar had earlier termed the incident a tragic accident, Rohit Pawar’s statements reflect growing unease within the party ranks. The differing viewpoints have brought underlying party disagreements into public view, raising concerns about internal cohesion in the aftermath of Ajit Pawar’s sudden death.
Rohit Pawar emphasized that this tragedy cannot be left unexplored. He appealed to investigative agencies to act promptly and provide clarity. “Every question we have is based on facts, not rumors. Maharashtra and the nation deserve transparency in this matter,” he said.
The Baramati plane crash continues to dominate headlines, with citizens and political observers keenly awaiting updates on the investigation. As the state grapples with the loss of a seasoned leader, the call for answers grows louder.
Ajit Pawar’s untimely death has triggered a mix of grief, political controversy, and questions of possible foul play. Rohit Pawar has publicly demanded answers, highlighting inconsistencies and urging authorities to conduct a thorough investigation. The tragedy not only leaves Maharashtra mourning a leader but also casts a spotlight on internal party dynamics and political uncertainties.
