He also said that he could never forget the guidance he received from Pawar.
"He worked honestly for the development of Maharashtra, for the progress of Maharashtra. I think Ajit Dada's personality has been inspirational to our generation," he added.
Demanding a probe into the matter, he said, "Investigation) should definitely happen, because the departure of a person like Ajit Dada is a very bad thing for Maharashtra...Who was the pilot? How long has he worked? Where was the plane in the last 24 hours. There should be an inquiry into it from a higher level."
