In 1999, Naik was elected to the 13th Lok Sabha from North Goa constituency in Goa. As of 2019, he has held his seat in this constituency winning in 2004, 2009, 2014 and 2019 elections. As of 2019, he is a member of the 17th Lok Sabha. In 2014 Lok Sabha Election, he won with a margin of 105,000 votes which is very high for a small state of Goa.[6][7]

Further, as advised by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the President has appointed Naik as Minister for Culture and Tourism (Independent Charge) in the 16th Lok Sabha.[8] He was one of probable candidates for Goa CM while Manohar Parrikar made as Union/Central minister.[9]

Naik was appointed Minister of State (Independent Charge) of the Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India, on 9 November 2014.[10][11] On 25 March 2016, Naik publicly stated he had access to research which proved that diseases such as cancer could be cured by yoga.[12] He further stated that his Ministry was a year away from granting an endorsement to such techniques and research.[13][14] The statement was challenged by medical researchers, scholars and doctors, who advocated caution in claiming a cure to cancer on the basis of unproven and unpublished research with no scientific evidence.[15]

Naik continued as Minister of State (Independent Charge) for AYUSH and was appointed Minister of State for Defence on 31 May 2019.[16]

Awards

[edit | edit source]

Naik received the Samaraj Ratna Award on 18 August 2016.[17][18]

2021 car accident

[edit | edit source]

Naik met with an accident on the evening of 11 January 2021 in Ankola, Karnataka, when his car driver was traveling en route from Yellapur to Gokarna was reported to have lost control at the wheel on the ghat section, causing the car to go turtle into a ditch. Due to the accident, Naik's wife and his personal secretary suffered grievous injuries. Police later confirmed they succumbed to their injuries whilst undergoing treatment to recover them in the hospital.[19] [20] [21] [22]
