Senior

Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar faction) leader Rohit Pawar said Saturday that doubts persist over the circumstances surrounding the death of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, who was killed in an air crash last month, and announced that he would present details on the incident on February 10.Speaking to reporters after casting his vote in Zilla Parishad elections in Baramati, Rohit Pawar, the nephew of the late NCP chief, said questions remain unanswered about the January 28 crash in which Ajit Pawar died. Local body elections across Maharashtra had been postponed following the incident.

“Everyone has questions and doubts in their minds (about the crash). I will give a presentation in Mumbai on February 10. Why the crash happened and how it might have happened, these issues will be raised,” he said.Rohit Pawar, an MLA from the Karjat-Jamkhed constituency, also said Ajit Pawar had hoped for unity between the rival factions of the Nationalist Congress Party and that efforts toward reconciliation would continue. The NCP (Sharad Pawar) and the NCP are jointly contesting the Zilla Parishad elections using the latter’s ‘clock’ symbol.“Ajit dada sincerely wished that everyone should come together as one family, and everyone has come together today. 'Dada' had made efforts. We will continue to make efforts in the same manner. The (Pawar) family is still united,” he said.

Rohit Pawar added that he would further explain the intent behind the proposed party merger on February 12. “Why was the merger supposed to happen, and for what? What was Ajit dada's true intention? Whether it had a political dimension or an emotional one? I will explain it on February 12,” he said.Meanwhile, Shiv Sena (UBT) lawmaker Sanjay Raut said several leaders have also raised concerns about the circumstances of Ajit Pawar’s death. He cited statements by NCP leaders and aides close to the late deputy chief minister.Raut criticiSed Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, accusing him of discouraging discussion on the matter instead of addressing the concerns.“Why are you (Fadnavis) threatening everyone? If his family and friends have doubts about Ajit Pawar's death, then why should CM Fadnavis and the BJP leadership should feel sad about it,” Raut said.(With inputs from agencies)
