Dr Anish Shah, Group CEO & MD, Mahindra Group:
“I am deeply saddened by the tragic news of the death of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar in a plane crash earlier today. As a senior leader and policymaker, he played a significant role in shaping the development agenda of Maharashtra and worked tirelessly for the welfare of its citizens. His sudden passing is a great loss to Maharashtra and to all who admired his decades of public service.
I extend heartfelt condolences to his family, colleagues, and supporters. My thoughts are with all those affected by this terrible incident. May his soul rest in peace.”
