Rohit Pawar urges Union Home Minister Amit Shah to announce the Pune Ring Road is named after the late Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and to press for a CBI investigation into Ajit Pawar’s January 28 plane crash. He also says the state should not limit its tribute to a statue, arguing that naming an infrastructure project would be a more meaningful commemoration.
The call comes ahead of Amit Shah’s scheduled visit to Pune, where he is expected to unveil a bust of Ajit Pawar at the Pune Zilla Parishad premises on Monday, November 16. Rohit Pawar’s message questions why state leaders who, he says, benefited from Ajit Pawar’s political support have not taken steps to rename the road. He further warns that agitation may be launched on Ajit Pawar’s death anniversary on January 28, 2027, if the Ring Road naming is not accepted. Other coverage frames the issue around the combined push for both the CBI probe and the road naming, without adding additional confirmed details beyond the demand and the looming visit.
