==Political career==

===15th Lok Sabha===

Baliram 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 [[Member of Parliament (India)|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.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://india.gov.in/govt/loksabhampbiodata.php?mpcode=4384 |title=Lok Sabha members |accessdate=2011-01-29 |publisher=Government of India, Lok Sabha |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120505214808/http://india.gov.in/govt/loksabhampbiodata.php?mpcode=4384 |archivedate= 5 May 2012 |df=dmy }}</ref><ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.indiaelections.co.in/lok-sabha-constituencies/maharashtra/palghar/ | title=Updated Election Results Details of Palghar | accessdate=2011-01-29 | publisher=India Elections | archive-date=7 October 2011 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111007113515/http://www.indiaelections.co.in/lok-sabha-constituencies/maharashtra/palghar/ | url-status=dead }}</ref> Thus, becoming the first [[Member of Parliament (India)|MP]] from the [[Palghar (Lok Sabha constituency)]].
