The Tatkare family is a prominent political family from Raigad district, in the Indian state of Maharashtra. The family has wielded considerable influence over the political landscape of Raigad and Maharashtra for several decades. Members of the Tatkare family have held various key public offices, including Member of Parliament (Lok Sabha), Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA), Member of Legislative Council (MLC), and leadership positions in district and municipal councils. Several members have also served in ministerial roles in the Maharashtra state government, holding portfolios at both Cabinet and Minister of State levels.[1]
Their political involvement spans across three generations, with affiliations to multiple major political parties over time, including the Indian National Congress (INC), Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), Shiv Sena, and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).[2]

First generation

He began his political journey with the Peasants and Workers Party of India and later joined the Indian National Congress. He served as the Chairperson of the Panchayat Samiti in Raigad district for 17 years, where he built a strong local support base. Though widely respected for his leadership and organizational abilities, he never rose to state or national politics. He was married to Geeta Tatkare and had five children — two sons and three daughters. His daughters are not involved in politics.
Second generation
[edit]Anil Tatkare (born 1953), eldest son of Dattatray Tatkare, continued the family's political legacy through local and legislative bodies. He was a Member of the Raigad District Council from 1997 to 2002, and later served as a Member of the Maharashtra Legislative Council (MLC) representing the Raigad–Ratnagiri–Sindhudurg Local Authorities for two consecutive terms from 2010 to 2018. Over his career, he has been affiliated with the Indian National Congress (until 1999), the Nationalist Congress Party (1999–2019), Shiv Sena (2019–2024), and currently the NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar faction).[3]
Sunil Tatkare (born 1955), second son of Dattatray Tatkare, emerged as one of the most prominent political figures from the family. He started his career in the Raigad District Council, eventually becoming its president from 1992 to 1995. He was elected as MLA for Mangaon for three consecutive terms (1995–2009), and later as MLA for Shrivardhan (2009–2014). During this time, he held several portfolios in the Maharashtra Government as Minister of State and Cabinet Minister. He was also a Member of the Legislative Council (2014–2018) and currently serves as the Member of Parliament for Raigad since 2019.[4] He is the current State President of the NCP (Ajit Pawar faction).[5]
Third generation

He was elected as MLA for Shrivardhan from 2014 to 2019.[6] Initially a member of the NCP, he later joined Shiv Sena (2019–2022) [7] and then switched to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 2022.[8]

Aniket Tatkare (born 1982), son of Sunil Tatkare, succeeded his uncle Anil Tatkare in the Legislative Council. He was elected as MLC from Raigad–Ratnagiri–Sindhudurg Local Authorities for the 2018–2024 term.[10] Initially a member of the NCP, he joined the NCP (Ajit Pawar faction) following the 2023 party split.[11]
