Om Shanti. A leader who knew the ground realities of Maharashtra so well. His work for the state's development, especially in water resources and agriculture, was notable. A very sad day for us Marathis.

While I offer my condolences, this is also a moment to reflect. Our senior leaders often maintain punishing schedules and use private aircraft. Should there be stricter safety protocols and limits? Just a thought in this hour of grief.
