Shiv Sena leader Deepak Kesarkar said the tragic incident has left everyone mourning and recalling the legacy of Ajit Dada. He described Pawar as a highly disciplined leader who began his day early and maintained absolute command over the administration. Reflecting on his long association with Pawar, Kesarkar said he began his political career in the Congress alongside Pawar Saheb and later moved to the NCP when it was formed. "I started my political career in Congress along with Pawar Saheb. Dada loved all of us, and Sharad Pawar Saheb was an inspiration for all of us," Kesarkar added.
