Maha: Name Pune Ring Road after Ajit Pawar, announce CBI probe into air crash, Rohit Pawar urges Amit Shah

Pune, Nov 15 (UNI) Ahead of union Home Minister Amit Shah's scheduled visit to Pune to unveil a statue of the late Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, NCP (SP) MLA Rohit Pawar today mounted pressure on the ruling establishment, demanding a CBI inquiry into the fatal Baramati plane crash and insisting that the ambitious Pune Ring Road be named after the departed leader.
In a strongly worded social media post that has sparked widespread debate across Maharashtra's political circles, Rohit Pawar warned of a massive agitation on Ajit Pawar's death anniversary if these demands are ignored.
Ajit Pawar was killed in a tragic plane crash near the Baramati airport while travelling from Mumbai, an incident that left no survivors and sent shockwaves through the state. Since the accident, Rohit Pawar has repeatedly raised serious questions regarding the circumstances of the crash, alleging potential foul play and calling for a thorough investigation.
While thanking the Pune Zilla Parishad leaders for erecting Ajit Pawar's statue, Rohit took a sharp swipe at state ministers who enjoy power due to the late leader's political clout. "Do those enjoying ministerial berths in the state government because of Ajit Dada not feel that the Pune Ring Road should be named after him?" he questioned. Highlighting Ajit Pawar's decade-long tenure as Pune's Guardian Minister and his immense contribution to the state's development, he asked whether certain individuals were deliberately opposing naming a major infrastructure project in his honour.
Urging Amit Shah not to limit Ajit Pawar's legacy to merely unveiling a statue, Rohit stated, "It would be much better if Shah Saheb announces naming the Pune Ring Road after Ajit Dada and orders a CBI inquiry into his plane crash. Otherwise, we will launch a massive agitation on Dada's death anniversary to ensure the Ring Road bears his name."
Reiterating his resolve to uncover whether the crash was a mere accident or a case of sabotage, Rohit affirmed that his efforts to bring out the truth would continue relentlessly. His remarks come amid heightened political activity and ongoing speculation regarding a potential reconciliation between the two factions of the Nationalist Congress Party.
