In response to allegations made by Rohit Pawar, an MLA from the Sharad Pawar faction of the NCP, Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu has provided a clear denial about any ties to the aviation company VSR. According to close sources to the minister, not only is there no link between him and the VSR company, but also no relationship exists with the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) concerning the firm involved in the tragic plane crash that resulted in the death of Ajit Pawar.

Rohit Pawar held a press conference in Mumbai, making serious accusations against Minister Naidu, suggesting that there is an ongoing attempt to shield VSR after the crash on January 28. He alleged that Naidu and some senior TDP leaders have close ties with the owners of the company, which has escalated tensions in the political arena. Rohit Pawar called for the resignation of the minister, pointing at substantial political connections behind the incident.

The controversy erupted following the plane crash in Baramati, Pune, on January 28, in which Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and four others lost their lives. This incident has raised several political speculations surrounding the cause of the crash, with Rohit Pawar insinuating that political factors may have contributed to this tragic event. The fallout from this crash has prompted further scrutiny of the relationships between political players and the airplane company involved, highlighting the intersection of aviation safety and political accountability.
