Rohit Pawar, a leader of the NCP (SP) party, raised concerns over the circumstances surrounding the death of former Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, who tragically died in a plane crash. During a press interaction after casting his vote in the district council elections in Baramati, Rohit Pawar indicated that many people harbor suspicions and questions regarding the incident. He announced that he would provide a detailed presentation on February 10 in Mumbai, intending to clarify the reasons and circumstances surrounding the unfortunate crash.

The elections for 12 district councils and 125 village committees took place in Maharashtra on Saturday, having been postponed from their original date of February 5 due to the plane crash that claimed Ajit Pawar's life on January 28. The postponement and the recent elections have heightened the political atmosphere in the region, especially within the NCP party, as members reflect on the loss and the future direction of the party. Rohit Pawar's comments indicate a desire to address these issues publicly and may seek to galvanize support and unity within the party during a tumultuous time.

Rohit Pawar further emphasized Ajit Pawar's intent to unify the various factions of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and expressed determination to continue efforts to merge the party's divisions. He underscored Ajit Pawar's wish for all factions to come together like a family and reaffirmed that the party remains united and will persist in its efforts to maintain that unity moving forward. This indicates a commitment to not only honor the late Ajit Pawar's legacy but also to stabilize the party in light of recent events.
