Rohit Pawar (Member of the Legislative Assembly from the Nationalist Congress Party in Maharashtra) has publicly urged Union Minister Nitin Gadkari to refrain from traveling in aircraft operated by VSR company, citing safety concerns following a plane accident involving Ajit Pawar. Pawar accused VSR of engaging in malpractice and failing to comply with aviation regulations, emphasizing that many of their aircraft are defective. He expressed that Gadkari, a prominent political figure in Maharashtra, should be cautious about his travel arrangements, especially if VSR's services were booked through the Union Aviation Ministry, which he claims has financial ties with the company. In a separate matter, Pawar also met with Education Minister Dada Bhuse to discuss the reimbursement policy under the Right to Education (RTE) Act, which mandates private schools to admit underprivileged students while only receiving limited financial support from the government. This policy has placed a significant financial strain on these schools. Pawar stated that a meeting has been scheduled for April 28 to further address these reimbursement concerns.
