It is a great achievement as Kalidas Kolambkar entered the Guinness Book of Records as the longest-serving Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) in India, as he has been elected for nine consecutive terms. A 70-year-old politician, Kolambkar has been the MLA from Wadala constituency in Mumbai since 1990. His latest victory in the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly elections will be an important addition to his legacy, showing his deep connections with the community. Kolambkar's journey reflects resilience and dedication to public service, marking a significant milestone in Indian politics.
