Questions That Haunt a State

In an emotional message that has struck a chord across Maharashtra, Pawar voiced the questions troubling countless citizens.

He wished his uncle would rise like a phoenix and, in his familiar husky voice, urge everyone to stop crying and return to work for Maharashtra.
