Shivajirao Patil Nilangekar (9 February 1931 – 5 August 2020) was a leader of Indian National Congress party who served as chief minister of Maharashtra.
He was chief minister from June 1985 to March 1986. His rule was the briefest of all chief ministers (apart from caretaker chief minister P K Sawant).[1] He resigned after the Bombay High Court passed strictures against him regarding fraud in the MD examinations to help his daughter and her friend.[2][3]
His daughter-in-law, Rupatai Patil Nilangekar, represented Latur (Lok Sabha constituency) for BJP from 2004 to 2009.
