Rohit Pawar to Unveil 'Eye-Opening' Information on Ajit Pawar's Death in Mumbai Press Conference
NCP (SP) leader Rohit Pawar has announced that he will hold a significant press conference at the Yashwantrao Chavan Centre in Mumbai on Tuesday, February 12. The event aims to present what he describes as "eye-opening points" in connection with the tragic death of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar.
Background on Ajit Pawar's Fatal Plane Crash
Ajit Pawar, a prominent political figure in Maharashtra, died in a plane crash near Baramati in Pune district on January 28, 2026. Since the incident, his nephew Rohit Pawar has repeatedly raised concerns over the circumstances surrounding the death, suggesting there are unresolved questions about the nature of the accident.
Last week, Rohit Pawar stated that "everyone has doubts" about the air crash and promised to provide a detailed presentation on February 10. On that day, he took to social media platform X to reiterate his intentions, posting: "I have many doubts in my mind, along with those of Maharashtra, regarding the tragic demise of Ajit dada in the Baramati plane crash."
He further elaborated: "In this regard, today (Tuesday, February 10) at 4 PM, I will hold a press conference at Yashwantrao Chavan Centre, Mumbai, to present in detail important and eye-opening points."
Timing Amid Maharashtra Zilla Parishad Election Results
Rohit Pawar's press conference comes in the wake of recently concluded elections for 12 Zilla Parishads and 125 Panchayat Samitis in Maharashtra. These polls, originally scheduled for February 5, were deferred following Ajit Pawar's death and were eventually held on Saturday.
The election results, announced on Monday by the State Election Commission, saw the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance secure a decisive victory. The ruling coalition won an overwhelming 552 of the total 731 seats across the state, marking a significant political development.
In these elections, the NCP (SP) led by Sharad Pawar and the NCP collaborated, with their candidates contesting under the latter's 'clock' symbol. This alliance highlights ongoing political maneuvers in the region.
Rohit Pawar's Previous Statements and Family Unity
Rohit Pawar, who represents the Karjat-Jamkhed assembly constituency in Ahilyanagar district, made remarks on February 7 regarding Ajit Pawar's hopes for party reunification. He was quoted by PTI as saying: "Ajit dada sincerely wished that everyone should come together as one family, and everyone has come together today. 'Dada' [as Ajit Pawar was known] had made efforts. We will continue to make efforts in the same manner. The (Pawar) family is still united."
This statement underscores the emotional and political dimensions of the situation, as Rohit Pawar prepares to address the public with new information that could potentially impact Maharashtra's political landscape.
The upcoming press conference is expected to draw significant attention from media and political observers, given the high-profile nature of Ajit Pawar's death and the recent electoral outcomes. Stakeholders are keenly awaiting the revelations that Rohit Pawar has promised to deliver.
