Maharashtra’s political landscape remains tense after the shocking plane crash in Baramati that ended Ajit Pawar’s life. NCP leader Anand Paranjape decries the rush to politicize the event, urging authorities to conduct a transparent, unbiased probe into the circumstances that led to five fatalities.
Pawar’s aircraft met a tragic end upon sudden failure over Pune territory, taking the Deputy CM, pilots, and crew down with it. The aftermath has seen Pawar’s relatives and party loyalists rally for CBI oversight, fueled by unanswered questions and rising suspicions.
Paranjape chronicled the pursuit of justice. Aviation Minister Ramanayudu and Mohar assured an investigation bureau review right after arriving in Baramati. CM Fadnavis ordered CID involvement soon after. Patel, Sunetra Pawar, and Tatkare’s recent parley with Fadnavis amplified the CBI call.
‘Vehicle operator VSR’s entire operational history warrants scrutiny, from pre-crash checks to post-incident analysis,’ Paranjape asserted. Rohit Pawar’s queries are justified, yet the political tinting of the mishap is ‘condemnable,’ he added.
Beyond immediate sorrow, this incident spotlights aviation vulnerabilities in India. Delivering unvarnished facts through rigorous inquiry will not only vindicate the fallen but fortify safeguards for tomorrow’s skies.
