Former Maharashtra minister Mahadev Jankar has shared a shocking coincidence surrounding the fatal plane crash that killed deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar. Jankar revealed that he was originally scheduled to travel with Pawar on the ill-fated flight to Baramati but couldn't make it due to a delayed arrival in Mumbai. The chartered aircraft crashed just 200 meters from the Baramati airport's tabletop runway on January 28, claiming the lives of Pawar and four others. Jankar, who heads the Rashtriya Samaj Paksha (RSP), described Pawar's death as a 'very unfortunate incident' and a significant loss for the state. As a prominent leader of the Dhangar community, Jankar has a notable presence in western Maharashtra, Vidarbha, and Marathwada regions, having previously served as a minister in the BJP-led government in 2016.
