A fatal plane crash in Baramati has claimed Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and others, drawing heartfelt condolences from Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren. On X, Soren shared his anguish on Wednesday, labeling the event ‘profoundly distressing’ and Pawar’s loss ‘irreparable to Maharashtra politics.’
The crash site in Pawar’s Baramati bastion became a scene of devastation, ending promising lives abruptly. Soren articulated: ‘Utterly heartbroken by the sudden passing of Maharashtra Dy CM Ajit Pawar in the tragic plane mishap.’
Renowned for steering Maharashtra through political turbulence, Pawar excelled in cooperative banking reforms and rural electrification. His strategic acumen fortified alliances, impacting state progress profoundly. Now, his absence poses challenges for governance continuity.
Soren’s prayerful note sought ‘Marang Buru”s blessings for eternal peace to Pawar and victims, alongside resilience for grieving families, party ranks, and sympathizers facing this trial. This cross-regional empathy underscores politics’ human side.
Aviation experts speculate on factors like turbulence or engine failure, with DGCA teams on-site. Pawar’s demise triggers speculation on NCP’s succession and Baramati’s political future. Soren’s gesture, amid chorus of national lamentations, reminds of shared democratic bonds. As investigations proceed, the nation honors a leader whose vision shaped millions’ lives.
