Ajit Pawar death, Baramati plane crash: Maharashtra Govt must provide security to Rohit Pawar, says Supriya Sule

Supriya Sule urges Maharashtra Government to ensure security for Rohit Pawar after Ajit Pawar's fatal plane crash raises public concerns.

Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar) working president Supriya Sule on Thursday (February 19, 2026) demanded that the Maharashtra Government provide security to her party MLA Rohit Pawar, noting that he has been raising concerns and questions in the wake of Deputy CM Ajit Pawar's death in an air crash.

In an X post, Ms. Sule said the January 28, 2026 plane crash in Pune's Baramati town, in which Ajit Pawar and four others were killed, has sent shockwaves across Maharashtra, with people still in deep grief and numerous doubts and suspicions being expressed on social media.

“Rohit Pawar has been placing facts, issues and questions in a well-researched and thoughtful manner reflecting public sentiment,” she said, stressing that people deserve clear answers from the authorities.

"If the authorities delay in providing answers, the unease will only grow further. To prevent this from escalating, it is essential that the truth of the incident comes out before the public in a completely transparent manner," the Baramati Lok Sabha member said.

Emphasising that questioning the system is a constitutional right of every Indian citizen, Ms. Sule said Rohit Pawar was articulating the doubts and concerns in the minds of the people before the authorities.

"It is extremely important that he is provided adequate security and the full responsibility to ensure his safety must be taken by the state government," she said.
