Career[edit]

He rose to fame after the BJP's defeat in the 2009 General elections, when he was appointed to frame a report on the reasons for the Party's loss. Called the "Bal Apte Report," it was a big critique of the functioning of the party and an indirect indictment of many of its top leaders.

Apte was a dedicated swayamsevak of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and the National President of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad and was active in ABVP for 38 Years. He was an Additional Advocate General for the State of Maharashtra and a Senior Advocate of the Supreme Court of India.
