INTERESTING BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Narayan Rane, an influential figure in Indian politics, hails from the vibrant state of Maharashtra. His political journey is marked by significant milestones, including his tenure as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra from February 1, 1999, to October 17, 1999. Beyond this brief but impactful term, Rane’s contributions to the state’s governance were further solidified when he served as the cabinet minister for Industry, Port, Employment, and Self-employment from 2010 to 2014. In July 2021, he took on the role of Minister for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises in the second Modi government, showcasing his enduring presence in the political landscape.

Rane’s political beginnings can be traced back to his early twenties when he joined the Shiv Sena as a local Shakha Pramukh (ward chief) in Chembur, Mumbai. His commitment to public service led him to become a Councillor in Kopargaon, Maharashtra. His ascent within the Shiv Sena culminated in his appointment as Chief Minister in 1999, following the departure of Manohar Joshi. However, his political affiliations faced a turning point in 2005 when he was expelled from the Shiv Sena due to allegations of “anti-party activities,” which purportedly stemmed from his growing influence and dissatisfaction with the party’s direction under Uddhav Thackeray’s leadership. Reflecting on his departure, Rane expressed deep respect for his mentor, Balasaheb Thackeray, stating that his loyalty to the party had spanned 39 years, and he left with a heavy heart.

Following his exit from the Shiv Sena, Rane joined the Indian National Congress in 2005, where he was entrusted with the role of Revenue Minister of Maharashtra. In a significant electoral victory, he won the Malvan seat in the Konkan region by a remarkable margin of over 50,000 votes. However, his relationship with the Congress soured after the Mumbai attacks in 2008, leading to his suspension for six years after he publicly protested against the party’s leadership and the appointment of Ashok Chavan as Chief Minister. His commitment to journalism also shone through when, in October 2008, he launched a Marathi daily newspaper under his publishing house, Rane Prakashan Pvt. Ltd., where he took on the role of Consulting Editor.

In a bold move reflecting his political aspirations, Rane founded the Maharashtra Swabhiman Paksha in October 2017. At the launch of this new party, he emphasized the necessity for a fresh political entity in Maharashtra. His criticism of Uddhav Thackeray became increasingly vocal, questioning the latter’s grasp of governance and political strategy. By 2018, Rane aligned his party with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), eventually merging Maharashtra Swabhiman Paksha with the BJP in October 2019, a move solidified in the presence of then-Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.

Throughout 2020, Rane was a prominent voice in Maharashtra’s political discourse, especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic. He critiqued the Thackeray government’s handling of the health crisis, calling for President’s rule in the state. His involvement in the inauguration of a COVID-19 center in Sindhudurg district alongside Fadnavis illustrated his ongoing dedication to public health and welfare. As of July 2021, Rane continues to play a pivotal role in Indian politics, managing the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises ministry, while consistently appearing on the covers of political magazines, showcasing his dynamic journey within the ever-evolving landscape of Indian governance.
