Shrijeet claimed that he had messaged Ajit Pawar over a selection of some candidates after which the late NCP chief responded to him by calling him. “I messaged him when he was in the aircraft and I think when his phone got a range, he called me to explain his decision only 10 minutes before the crash,” Shrijeet said.Pawar’s last rites were performed with full state honours on January 29 at the premises of Vidya Pratishthan College in Baramati, drawing large crowds of supporters and political leaders.
