Amit Subhashrao Zanak is a member of Maharashtra Legislative Assembly. He represents the constituency of Risod, India. He belonged to the Indian National Congress (INC).[1]
He was all set to embark on the engineering profession until his father's sudden death on 28 October 2014 that forced him to take a plunge into the world of politics at the age of 28. But he performed exceedingly well after winning the by-polls on a Congress ticket from Risod constituency in Washim district. The seat was left vacant after his father Subhash Zanak, former minister state minister for women and child development, died due to a cardiac arrest. Zanak is from the third generation Zanak family dynasty of politicians.
He claimed to provide the many facilities in his constituency including construction of substation and many small irrigation projects, piding potable water to villagers, starting a training centre for UPSC and MPSC examinations and also a gymnasium for the youths.
On 22 March 2017, Zanak was suspended along with 18 other MLAs until 31 December for interrupting Maharashtra Finance Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar during a state budget session and burning copies of the budget outside the assembly four days earlier.[2]
