Mumbai, November 9, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Maharashtra president and Rajya Sabha MP Sunil Tatkare on Monday said he would send a legal notice to Shiv Sena leader Ramdas Kadam for allegedly making baseless and defamatory remarks linking him to the plane crash that killed former Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar.
Reacting to Kadam’s demand for a high-level inquiry into his alleged role in the fatal accident, Tatkare dismissed the accusations and said he would no longer respond to the Shiv Sena leader’s statements. He added that he would pursue legal remedies whenever necessary.
Tatkare also launched a personal attack on Kadam, saying he needed to clarify his own public standing before making allegations against others. He recalled that when Kadam was seeking to become Leader of the Opposition, he had personally taken him in his car to meet Ajit Pawar, after which Kadam secured the position. Tatkare challenged him to confirm whether this account was true.
Kadam had accused Tatkare of being disloyal and made allegations about his past political associations, while demanding an investigation into whether he had any connection with the aircraft accident.
Meanwhile, NCP MLA Rohit Pawar reiterated his concerns about the investigation into Ajit Pawar’s death. He said he had not heard Kadam’s specific allegations but maintained that the probe was not progressing in the manner it should.
Rohit Pawar said his family suspected sabotage and alleged that those in power were not addressing these concerns through a proper investigation. He described the pace of the probe as slow and announced that he would make what he called an important presentation in Mumbai on November 14 or 15, promising further revelations.
