Baliram Sukur Jadhav

He is married to Vanita Baliram Jadhav, who herself had contested the Thane Zilla Parishad post, but lost to Anita Ramu Dhangda.

He won the seat by gaining a majority of 223,234 votes, around 12,360 more than his next counterpart, Advocate Chintaman Vanaga of the Bhartiya Janata Party.

Sitting MP, Damodar Barku Shingada of the Indian National Congress was pushed to third, owing majorly to the loss of his votebank in the neighbouring Bhiwandi constituency, post delimitation.

[5] It is said that Jadhav, after pledging his unconditional support to the UPA government, played a key role in gaining the approval for the recently created Vasai-Virar Municipal Corporation, a long awaited move.

He once again lost to Rajendra Gavit who was contesting on a Shiv Sena ticket in the 2019 Indian general elections for the same seat by a margin of 88,883 votes.
