BJP ministers in Maharashtra have urged Opposition parties to avoid politicizing the tragic demise of Ajit Pawar, former Deputy Chief Minister, who perished in a plane crash in Pune. They emphasized waiting for the results of the ongoing investigation.

Their call for calm comes as Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut and other Opposition figures raise questions about the circumstances of Pawar's death, suggesting potential links to his prior statements about possessing a file on alleged BJP corruption.

Detailed analysis of the plane's black box is underway, expected to shed light on the crash. Contradictory theories around Pawar's intentions and the absence of official personnel on the flight have added to public speculation.
