As the news of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar’s death in a plane crash spread, thousands of party workers and supporters gathered outside the Baramati Medical College, turning the hospital surroundings into a scene of intense grief and mourning. The supporters from Baramati and nearby areas raised cries of sorrow, expressing disbelief over the sudden loss of their leader.

Many said they felt orphaned by Pawar’s untimely demise. The roads leading to Baramati witnessed heavy traffic as supporters headed there from Pune and Ahilya Nagar. A 70-year-old supporter from Katewadi village said, “My farm is beside Pawar’s residence. I can’t believe how god took away my dada. We are orphans now. Dada was the future of Maharashtra.”


When MLA Rohit Pawar arrived at the hospital, the emotional outpouring intensified. Despite his own deep sorrow, Rohit appealed to workers to remain calm and maintain peace, urging them to cooperate with the administration during this difficult time.



The news of Ajit’s death spread like wildfire across Maharashtra, leaving the entire state and the Pawar family stunned. 

Upon receiving information 

about the horrific accident, Rohit immediately rushed to the hospital in Baramati. After seeing the mortal remains of his uncle and political mentor, he lost his composure and broke down outside the hospital, unable to control his tears.

Support system shattered

Although Ajit and Rohit were on different political paths, at a personal and family level, Rohit always regarded Ajit as his strongest pillar of support. From the moment he learned of the crash, he appeared deeply disturbed. After interacting with doctors inside the hospital, he stepped out with grief clearly visible on his face and tears in his eyes.

Rohit remains at the hospital, closely monitoring the situation and staying in touch with officials to ensure administrative formalities and further procedures are carried out smoothly.

Political chapter

With Ajit’s passing, Maharashtra has lost a decisive, experienced, and influential leader. For Rohit, the loss goes far beyond politics — it marks the collapse of a major emotional and personal support system.
