MUMBAI: Uddhav Thackeray’s close aide Milind Narvekar, who has been seeking a party nomination to the upper house of the state legislature for a long time, has finally been fielded by the Shiv Sena (UBT). The selection of Narvekar, who is also the party secretary, is a comeback for the man who was sidelined in the party following Eknath Shinde’s rebellion two years ago. Narvekar was known for his good rapport with Shinde.
Narvekar has worked as Uddhav Thackeray’s personal assistant for over two decades. He also played a role in various political developments, and over the years had been aspiring to be a member of the legislature. He was given the opportunity on Tuesday by Thackeray, who remained present when Narvekar filed his nomination.
The election to 11 council seats will be tough, as the opposition MVA has fielded three candidates though it does not have adequate numbers. However, Thackeray expressed confidence. “We have enough votes to elect three candidates from the MVA,” he said. “The Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT) and Peasants and Workers Party’s (PWP) Jayant Patil are also in the fray. We will win all three seats.” The Sena (UBT) claims it has 16 votes with it against the quota of 23 to win the election. Thackeray, after deliberations with the Congress about the shifting of extra votes to him, fielded Narvekar.
Narvekar met Thackeray in the mid-1990s when he approached him seeking an appointment for the Malad shakha pramukh’s post. Thackeray asked him to work as his personal assistant, and since then Narvekar has been handling the responsibility. He also worked behind the scenes in identifying candidates for various elections and establish As Thackeray's confidante Milind Narvekar takes matters of the CM's security details in his hands, PWD and police officials are unhappy Milind Narvekar with Uddhav before the latter became Chief Minister A section of the state administration is seeing red over Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray's aide, Milind Narvekar who has been changing security arrangements and installing lights in the backyard of Ramgiri, the CM's official residence at Nagpur. The CM's favourite subordinate is being talked about again, this time, for interfering in the 'functioning of the government'. ADVERTISEMENT Before the state legislature's winter session began at Nagpur, Shiv Sena party secretary Narvekar visited Ramgiri and took stock of security and other arrangements there. During this visit, Narvekar asked PWD (Public Works Department) officials to clear the overgrowth of grass and trees in the backyard of the bungalow. The party secretary even instructed a law-enforcing agency to have more security points in the backyard of the CM's official bungalow and insisted on getting more lights installed. This raised the hackles of administration officials. A senior government official expressed displeasure over the interference of the Sena leader in the functioning of the government. "Earlier, no one had any issues with the security and other arrangements at the CM's official residence in Nagpur. But a leader from the new regime does. We have made changes as requested by Narvekar," the official added. Narvekar nuggets Apr 20, 2024 10:55 AM IST Mumbai: In a bid to create a buzz in the upcoming elections, the ruling Mahayuti alliance is exploring the possibility of fielding Milind Narvekar, secretary to Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, in Mumbai. According to sources, the Shiv Sena faction led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde is considering Narvekar as a potential candidate, despite his decision to remain loyal to Uddhav Thackeray during the party split. Narvekar is known to maintain cordial relations with both Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. "Narvekar is one of the names being considered for the Mumbai North West constituency. We have sent feelers to him," said a senior legislator from the Shinde-led Sena. "He is a well-known figure among Sena's voter base, and his defection to the Shinde faction would be a setback for the Thackeray faction at this juncture. Moreover, Narvekar has an in-depth understanding of the Sena party organisation, and his insights would be valuable in countering the strategies of Sena (UBT)." The legislator also revealed that the BJP is on board with exploring various candidates for the Mumbai South and Mumbai North West constituencies, and Narvekar is one of the options discussed. His background could prove useful in either of the seats, as Mumbai South has a traditional Shiv Sena stronghold from Parel to Byculla, while Mumbai North West has several areas where Shiv Sena enjoys support. Following the party split, the Thackeray faction had won the assembly by-election held in the Andheri East constituency, which falls under the Mumbai North West seat.

A police official deployed during the winter session for security at Ramgiri, confirmed the development. The police personnel said, "Earlier the backyard of the bungalow had only one security point. Now, the security points have been increased. Even lights have been installed." Not only did Narv Shiv Sena's (UBT) Milind Narvekar wins MLC polls
Narvekar who is Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray’s PA and close aide has been elected to any legislative post for the first time.Narvekar’s rise from a gata pramukh (group head) at Malad’s Liberty Garden area, the lowest post in the Sena hierarchy, to a party secretary and now an MLC has been phenomenal.
Soon after winning the MLC polls, Narvekar paid homage to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharajinside the Vidhan Bhavan premises. Narvekar’s neonate had become a prestige battle and any adverse result would have reflected very poorly on Uddhav himself, said political observers.
Sena functionaries said that Narvekar was rewarded for his networking skills and crisis management in the party. “This was long overdue,” said a senior Sena functionary. “Milind has always been much more than just a PA. He did much more than any top functionary or functionary but everything he did was behind-the-scenes. Now, he has been rewarded with a formal designation. He will be a deep asset in the legislature for Uddhav ji and play a key role in the assembly polls too,” a senior Sena (UBT) functionary said.
Narvekar hasn’t held any government post so far, nor has he contested any election. However, he has been the Sena (UBT) key strategist for several closely fought elections and nominations to Rajya Sabha and the state legislative council, where number crunching, mobilising MLAs and floor management are key.
Narvekar remains an enigmatic figure even for those in political circles. He is often seen on TV, usually with a mobile phone in hand, walking just a few steps behind Uddhav or standing behind him at public functio Shinde Sena considering Uddhav aide Milind Narvekar for Mumbai seat
