Harshvardhan Jadhav is an Indian politician who formerly represented Kannad in Maharashtra Legislative Assembly. He has been a member of Shiv Sena, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, Shiv Swarajya Paksha at various times in his political career.

Political career[edit]

Coming from a political family, Jadhav joined politics somewhat reluctantly in 2004, losing the Assembly election that year as an Independent.[5] He was elected to Vidhan Sabha in 2009 from the Kannad Assembly Constituency as a Maharashtra Navnirman Sena nominee. He won the seat for the consecutive term in 2014, but this time he was with Shiv Sena.[6]

Jadhav contested 2019 Lok Sabha election as an independent from Aurangabad. Jadhav gained sizable Maratha support, which resulted in Shiv Sena losing the seat after having won it for 4 consecutive elections.[7][8] In the aftermath, his house was pelted with stones by Shiv Sena supporters for his comments about Uddhav Thackeray.[9][10] While he had floated his own party "Shiv Swarajya Paksha/Shiv Swarajya Bahujan Paksh", he contested as an Independent.[10][11][12] He later announced that the party will continue fielding candidates in upcoming state elections.[13]

Jadhav rejoined MNS in 2020 and was tasked with playing an influential role in Marathwada politics.[14][15]

He is known for his activism for Maratha reservation and support for Maratha Kranti Morcha.[3][16][17][18]

In May 2020, Jadhav announced that he has retired from politics and would support his wife further her political ambitions.[14][19][20]

Controversies[edit]

In 2011, Jadhav was involved in assault case where he claimed he was assaulted by the police. A counter-case was filed by the police alleging he was the one who instigated the attacks.[21] Two cops were suspended after the incidence[22] and in 2017 Jadhav sentenced to one year in jail.[23] In 2014, He was again in the news for slapping a security officer.[24]

In March 2020, a case was registered against Jadhav for verbally assaulting a person from Scheduled caste under the atrocities act.[25] His camp denied allegations and called the charges politically motivated.[26]

In Dec 2020, the Bopodi Police station lodged an FIR against him for attempted murder in a road rage incident in Aundh, Pune in which he was later granted bail and the opposing were charged under the same.[citation needed]

Personal life[edit]

Jadhav is the son of Late Raibhan Jadhav, a politician from Indian national congress and also social worker who was locally known as Krishi Maharshi for his agricultural work in the kannad constituency.[2][5]

After series of video posts over previous months,[27] Jadhav filed for divorce in August 2020 citing mental anguish.[28]
