Reacting to West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee's remarks about NCP leader Ajit Pawar's death, Maharashtra deputy CM Eknath Shinde said, "It's not appropriate to do politics in such a situation." He said, "It's hurtful to the family". Banerjee had said Ajit Pawar was likely to leave the BJP and a Supreme Court-monitored probe should be done into his death.
