Key Takeaways
Mumbai, Feb 3 (NationPress) The Pawar family and the state of Maharashtra are grappling with the shocking and untimely loss of former Deputy Chief Minister and NCP president Ajit Pawar, who tragically passed away in a plane crash in Baramati. Amid this sorrow, a heartfelt message from his son, Jay Pawar, has gone viral.
Jay shared two cherished photos with his father on his WhatsApp status accompanied by a moving tribute: “I miss you so much. Dad, I wish time had stood still; I would have embraced you tightly and held on forever. Missing you deeply, Dad!”
This poignant status has been extensively circulated across social media platforms.
Jay Pawar has been actively involved in family businesses within cooperative sectors and has campaigned for the NCP during various elections, including the Lok Sabha, Assembly, and more recently in Nagar Parishad, Nagar Panchayat, and Municipal Corporation Elections.
According to residents of Baramati and NCP officials, Jay is known for his modest demeanor, often avoiding the limelight and media attention.
Following the sudden death of Ajit Pawar, rapid political changes in Maharashtra and within the NCP compelled the Pawar family to momentarily set aside their grief and re-enter the political sphere.
Ajit Pawar's wife, Sunetra Pawar, who serves as a member of the Rajya Sabha, has been sworn in as the Deputy Chief Minister of the state. She has also taken over the ministries that were previously under his purview, including Excise, Sports, and Minority Development.
On Monday, Sunetra visited Karad to pay tribute at the memorial of Yashwantrao Chavan before returning to Baramati. On Tuesday, she will be at their residence, 'Sahyog' in Katewadi, where the Pawar family will receive condolence visits until 4:00 p.m.
Earlier, Sunetra expressed, “Respected Ajitdada has inspired us to dedicate our lives to farmers, laborers, women, youth, and the underprivileged. Today, as I accept the responsibility of the Deputy Chief Minister, I am committed to the principles of 'Shiv-Shahu-Phule-Ambedkar'.”
She added, “The sudden loss of Dada has brought immense sorrow, but my true strength lies in my commitment to serve and in the bond with the people that he instilled in me. I will strive tirelessly to realize a just, equitable, and developed Maharashtra, as envisioned by him. The love and support from the people of Maharashtra inspire me to carry on with renewed hope.”
