Political career
edit15th Lok Sabha
editBaliram Jadhav contested the 15th Lok Sabha elections as an independent candidate from the Palghar constituency. He was backed by the strong support of former Member of Legislative Assembly Hitendra Thakur, who gave him the candidature of his political party, Bahujan Vikas Aaghadi which had a strong foothold in the region.
Thakur's support and the delimitation of the Palghar constituency, backed with the developmental work done by Jadhav for the tribal region in the past worked in favor of him. 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.[3][4] Thus, becoming the first MP from the Palghar (Lok Sabha constituency).
He was the member of the Social Justice & Empowerment Committee in the 15th Lok Sabha.[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 is very active in the tribal region of Vasai[citation needed]. He has many things on his agenda that include upliftment of the adivasi population in the region, solving the water problem in the area, demanding quick installation of the much needed Virar-Dahanu local train services and cutting down the load shedding time in the region[citation needed].
