The political journey of Manohar Joshi:
Manohar Joshi’s political journey epitomized a trajectory of significant milestones. Beginning with his tenure in the Legislative Council representing the Shiv Sena, spanning from 1972 to 1989, Joshi swiftly rose through the ranks. His leadership acumen was evident as he assumed the mayoral mantle of Mumbai from 1976 to 1977. Transitioning to the Legislative Assembly in 1990, he continued his service under the Shiv Sena banner.
His pinnacle achievement came when he assumed the role of Chief Minister from 1995 to 1999, marking the first time a leader from the undivided Shiv Sena held the state’s top post. Joshi’s influence extended to the national stage as he was elected as a Member of Parliament and served as the Speaker of the Lok Sabha from 2002 to 2004, during the tenure of Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s government.
