The sudden death of Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar in a plane crash on January 28, 2026, has sent shockwaves through Maharashtra’s political landscape, leading to an immediate three-day period of state mourning. As reported by Pudhari, all government offices and educational institutions remained closed as a mark of respect. The tragedy occurred near Baramati when his private aircraft crashed during a landing attempt in poor visibility, claiming the lives of the leader and his staff. His last rites are being performed today with full state honours in his home turf of Baramati, attended by top national and state leaders.Politically, the impact is most severe for the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), which now faces a sudden leadership vacuum. According to analysis by Sarkarnama, Pawar was the central force holding his faction together and was the primary architect of their role within the Mahayuti alliance. His absence raises urgent questions about succession, with focus shifting toward his wife, Sunetra Pawar, and his sons to maintain the party’s stability. There is also widespread speculation regarding a potential emotional realignment or merger with the Sharad Pawar-led NCP (SP) faction during this period of grief.
