Maharashtra Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule and other officials were also present.

Very tragic news. He was on his way to serve the public even in his last moments. Arun Govil ji is right, a thorough probe is needed. Questions about aircraft maintenance and pilot credentials must be answered.

While the condolences are appropriate, this is also a moment to reflect on the safety standards of chartered flights used by our politicians. How many such incidents must happen before stricter regulations are enforced? A life lost is a life lost, regardless of stature.

Om Shanti. A sharp political mind gone too soon. His work in Baramati was legendary. The loss is not just for his party but for the entire state's development trajectory. Hope the investigation leaves no stone unturned.

Terrible day for Maharashtra politics. My thoughts are with the families of all who were on that plane, not just the leaders. The crew and staff also lost their lives. A very sad incident.

A sobering reminder of how fragile life is. He was a formidable leader. Riteish Deshmukh's tribute about his zero tolerance for non-performance really says it all. A huge void in the political landscape.
