Baramati, a bustling hub in Maharashtra, is shrouded in grief following the tragic plane crash that claimed the life of Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar. BJP leader Navneet Rana, in an emotional tribute, declared that a leader of Ajit Dada’s caliber will never be seen again.
Speaking exclusively to reporters, Rana recounted Pawar’s unwavering commitment. ‘Ajit Dada was a man of his word. He vowed to work until his last breath, and his deep love for Baramati ensured that his final moments were spent here,’ she said, her voice heavy with sorrow. ‘His dedication to development set an unmatched example. He supported every leader and worker, guiding young politicians like us with his blessings.’
Residents of Baramati echoed her sentiments. One local resident lamented, ‘Ajit Pawar’s departure feels like a full stop to Baramati’s progress. Who will carry forward our city’s growth now? It still doesn’t feel real; it seems like he’ll return any moment.’
Pawar’s legacy is etched in the region’s transformation. From bolstering agricultural infrastructure to empowering cooperative societies, his contributions were profound. Affectionately called ‘Dada’ by the masses, he held the Deputy CM position multiple times, showcasing his political stature.
Meanwhile, NCP legislator Pratap Patil Chikhalikar urged Sunetra Ajit Pawar to take the party’s helm and assume the Deputy CM role in the wake of this tragedy. As investigations into the crash continue, the administration promises full disclosure of findings.
Ajit Pawar’s simplicity, developmental zeal, and public service will be remembered forever. Baramati—and Maharashtra—has lost a towering figure whose absence leaves an irreplaceable void.
