Prominent Indian politician Ajit Pawar, serving as the 8th Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, died in a plane crash on Wednesday (January 28). He was travelling with six others on the aircraft. Emergency response teams rushed to the crash site, and more details are awaited.
The plane carrying Pawar crashed while attempting to land in Baramati during a flight from Mumbai. Three election campaign rallies were scheduled in Baramati, which is why he had travelled there. The programme was planned to run from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
Pawar holds the record for being the longest-serving Deputy CM of the state, having served six non-consecutive terms.
