A tragic day for Maharashtra. He was a leader who spoke his mind, whether you agreed with him or not. Riteish's tribute is very touching. It shows the human side of these public figures. The state has lost a strong voice.

Such a sudden and shocking end. He was travelling for election work. This raises serious questions about the safety protocols for our politicians and VIPs. The DGCA must conduct a thorough, transparent investigation. We cannot afford to lose leaders like this.

Irreplaceable void is right. Love him or critique him, his impact on Maharashtra's political landscape for decades is undeniable. His wit was sharp and his style was unique. A sad day for Indian politics. May his soul rest in peace.

A respectful criticism: While the tributes are pouring in, I hope this tragedy also makes our leaders reflect on the importance of robust public transport infrastructure over reliance on small aircraft for last-mile travel, especially during bad weather. Safety must come first, always.
