A brief biography

As in 2019, May

May 31, 2019: The Times of India

Born: Dec 31, 1951

Experience: 1 Lok Sabha Term

A hardcore Shiv Sainik who lives in a chawl in the Marathi heartland of Sewri, Arvind Sawant was among the Shiv Sena’s old guard. He has risen to become a two-term MP after defeating the Congress’s high-profile Milind Deora in Mumbai South, also becoming the national face of the party.

Sawant’s core strength has been his record as a trade unionist and a guardian of the rights of the sons of the soil. He controls the union of telephone employees — the Mahanagar Telephone Kamgar Sena. Aggressive and articulate, Sawant began his political innings in 1968 as a group leader in the party. His managerial skills and ability to get along with people soon pushed him ahead of others to become the deputy leader of the party. He has also served as an MLC.
