Sudin Dhavalikar

Ramkrishna alias Sudin Madhav Dhavalikar[4] (born 21 November 1956) is an Indian politician, and a senior leader of the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP).

On 27 March 2019, he was dropped from the Cabinet of Ministers as the Deputy Chief Minister, as well as the ruling alliance, after two MGP MLAs (Deepak Pauskar and Manohar Ajgaonkar) broke away from the party and joined the ruling BJP, merging the MGP legislative party into the BJP.

In 2015, two members of Aam Aadmi Party – Pradip Ghadi Amonkar and Mujahid Rizvi – alleged that Dhavalikar, while contesting the previous Assembly election, had sworn a false affidavit that he is a BSc graduate.

After inquiring with the Bombay University, Ponda police submitted in the court that Dhavalikar's BSc degree is genuine.

The Ponda court promptly dismissed the case noting that JMFC Apurva Nagvekar did not find any merit in the application made by the aggrieved party.
