Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut expressed profound grief over the plane crash that claimed Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar’s life, branding it an unfortunate event and pressing for a fair inquiry.
Thursday’s interaction with journalists saw Raut demand transparency. ‘The reasons behind this loss—specific aircraft flaws—must come to light for all to see.’
Pawar’s role as a key political stalwart was highlighted. ‘A popular and powerful figure in Maharashtra, his irreplaceable void shakes the political foundation. Memories of him will endure eternally.’
Invoking the Ahmedabad tragedy involving Vijay Rupani, Raut warned of patterns. ‘Repeated crashes necessitate detailed scrutiny of anomalies to avert future calamities.’
Raut challenged empty gestures. ‘Homages from PM, CM, and Home Minister are symbolic, but futile without follow-up. Initiate probes and implement fixes now.’
He highlighted 10 years of crashes met with DGCA’s inadequate responses—committees without conclusions. ‘Break this pattern through accountability and aviation enhancements,’ Raut implored, focusing on preventive action.
