Rahul Narwekar is an Indian politician and member of the
Bhartiya Janata Party ticket. He is Speaker of Maharashtra Legislative Assembly on 3 July 2022 and he is the second-youngest (age 44) person to be elected speaker of any state in the country, the youngest being Shivraj Patil (age 42).[1][2] In May 2023, he completed a 4-day UK tour speaking at the Ideas for India Conference organised by Bridge India in London,[3] and speaking with students at Cambridge University. His tour attracted media attention[4][5][6][7] because of its proximity to the Supreme Court judgement on the disqualification of 16 MLAs of the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena.[8]
