West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee alleged a political conspiracy behind the death of Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar in a plane crash. She demanded a Supreme Court-supervised probe, citing reports that Pawar was planning to rejoin his uncle Sharad Pawar's party. BJP MP Kangana Ranaut criticized Banerjee's statement as "petty" during a time of mourning.
