Formerly he also served as Minister of State for Urban Development, Forest, Port, Sports, Parliamentary Affairs, Youth Welfare, Ex-Defence Welfare, Law & Order, Fisheries and Guardian Minister of Ratnagiri.

Jadhav was member of assembly from Chiplun constituency.[1] Following the clashes with the leadership, he quit Shivsena and contested assembly election as an independent candidate in 2004.
