In a pointed critique that has stirred Maharashtra’s political corridors, Rohit Pawar, the Sharad Pawar faction NCP MLA, demanded a no-holds-barred CBI inquiry into the mysterious demise of Ajit Pawar, the late Deputy CM. Addressing the media at Vidhan Bhavan, he warned that a genuine investigation would unleash the power of Maharashtra’s people.
Skepticism over the probe’s pace dominated his remarks. Pawar grilled the CBI on basic steps like securing CCTV evidence and launching criminal lines of inquiry, lamenting just two preliminary reports after weeks. Ground-level voices, from Amol Mitkari to Rupali Thombare, echo his call for depth.
Pawar dropped bombshells, alleging documented links between ruling figures, ministers, and VSR aviation company. He backed CBI’s role but flagged their overwhelming caseload—over 7,000 unsolved files—likening it to deliberate delays. A fixed deadline for conclusions is non-negotiable, he insisted.
He’s gearing up a dossier for the CM, complete with proofs, and has already forwarded findings to Amit Shah and DGCA, frustrated by withheld data. Politics aside, Pawar stressed justice as Ajit Pawar’s expressed desire, endorsed by MVA stalwarts during Sharad Pawar’s Rajya Sabha bid.
Post Sharad Pawar’s Mumbai return and MVA huddle, next moves will crystallize. In emotional tribute, Pawar hailed Ajit as the epitome of discipline and wit, a session mainstay whose absence leaves a void. ‘Truth must prevail for Maharashtra,’ he vowed, pledging unwavering advocacy for public causes.
