'''Ramesh Kashiram Karad''' ({{IPAc-en|r|ɑː|m|ɛ|ʃ|_|k|ɑː|r|ə|d}}; {{IPA-mr|rəmeʂ kərad|lang|}}), commonly known as Ramesh Appa Karad, is an Indian politician from [[Maharashtra]] state and a member of [[Maharashtra Legislative Council]] from [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] and district president of Bharatiya janata party latur.<ref>{{Cite news|date=12 May 2020|title=Maharashtra MLC polls: BJP's Ramesh Karad now one of 4 official nominees|language=English|work=The Times of India|url=https://www.m.timesofindia.com/city/mumbai/maharashtra-mlc-polls-bjps-ramesh-karad-now-one-of-4-official-nominees/amp_articleshow/75695962.cms|url-status=live|accessdate=21 May 2020}}</ref>

He belongs to [[Latur district]] of [[Marathwada]] region in Maharashtra. He became councilor in 2020.
== Personal life ==
Karad was born in a [[Hindus|Hindu]] family to Kashiram Dadarao Karad in Rameshvar village of [[Latur Taluka]] in [[Latur district]] of Maharashtra. He's politician by profession. His wife has a milk business. He is follower of saint Bhagwan Baba of Savargaon. He's nephew of education baron Vishwanath Karad. He's commonly referred as Appa by his followers.

== Political career ==

Karad fought elections from his native [[Latur Rural (Vidhan Sabha constituency)|Latur rural (Vidhan Sabha constituency)]], which was part of Renapur assembly constituency. Renapur was influenced by then BJP leader [[Gopinath Munde]]. Karad is a follower of Munde. Latur rural constituency was created in 2009 by division of Renapur and Latur constituencies. Karad kept the party alive in Latur rural after the death of Munde. It was not easy to face then chief minister late [[Vilasrao Deshmukh]] directly.

But Karad fought alone in Latur rural. Karad is dreaming to be a legislator since 2009 due to Karad family's legacy and organization in rural region. He fought [[2009 Maharashtra Legislative Assembly election]], in which [[Vaijnath Shinde]] of [[Indian National Congress]] defeated Karad by 23,500 votes. [[Trimbakrao Shrirangrao Bhise|Trimbak Bhise]] of [[Indian National Congress|INC]] defeated Karad in [[2014 Maharashtra Legislative Assembly election]] by 10,500 votes. But Karad didn't leave hope after two consecutive defeats.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Bhatuse|first=Deepak|date=12 May 2020|title=... and Ramesh Karad became legislative council member|work=Zee news|url=https://www.zeenews.india.com/marathi/maharashtra/ramesh-karad-mla-of-the-legislative-council-know-how-its-happened/519847/amp|url-status=live|access-date=21 May 2020}}</ref>

He continuously remained in contact with his voters. In 2018 legislative council election, he filed a nomination from [[Nationalist Congress Party]] against [[Suresh Dhas]] of BJP. But he shocked NCP leader [[Dhananjay Munde]], by drawing back nomination and returning to [[Pankaja Munde]]'s group. Environment was set in [[2019 Maharashtra Legislative Assembly election]]. He started works as per the orders of the party. Karad's followers had been claiming openly that, BJP left the seat to [[Shiv Sena]] to ease the victory of congress leader [[Dhiraj Deshmukh]].

Since then Karad didn't appear in the election. But the party attempted to remove his upset by giving him designation of district president for Latur rural . He filed nomination papers for legislative council election along with three other BJP members in 2020. But BJP used shock mechanism by giving official candidature to Karad instead of previously announced Ajit Gopchhade. He won the council election unopposed and entered legislature for the first time.<ref>{{Cite news|date=12 May 2020|title=Legislator's mark on Ramesh Karad's forehead, result of struggle by BJP|language=Marathi|work=esakal|url=https://www.esakal.com/marathwada/ramesh-karad-get-nomination-assembly-council-latur-292111%3famp|url-status=live|access-date=21 May 2020}}</ref>
