Career[edit]
Patil was a member of Sangli Zillah Parishad from 1979 to 1990 from Savlaj constituency, then was elected to the Maharashtra legislative assembly in 1990, 1995, 1999,2004 and 2009, representing Tasgaon, in Sangli district. He became the Chief Whip of the Congress Party in the assembly as well as the chairman of the public accounts committee of the assembly in 1996–97 and 1998–99.
On November 1, 2004, he was sworn in as the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra. He is the chief of the Nationalist Congress Party's Maharashtra unit and NCP legislative party in Maharashtra. He was also theHome Minister of Maharashtra in the previous government. After taking charge of Home Ministry, he also sought guardianship of Naxal Activity affected district Gadchiroli. Since, then in spite of many naxalized attacks he encouraged natives to support elected Government through some developmental work for them.
Controversy[edit]
His comments in the aftermath of the November 2008 Mumbai attacks, have drawn severe criticism for downplaying the gravity of the situation. He was quoted as saying, "They (the terrorists) came to kill 5,000 people but we ensured minimal damage". Sources close to him have argued that his comments are being taken out of context and that he did not intend to downplay the grievous attack.
He was forced to resign on 1 December 2008 after further remarks on the attacks. When asked at a press conference whether the terror strike was an intelligence failure Patil said, "It is not like that. In big cities like this, small incidents do happen. It's is not a total failure." Patil's words drew flak from many quarters. Mumbai residents who saw him say this on television or were told about it by reporters pointed out the irony of politicians making such statements after being provided high security.[1][2][3][4]
Death[edit]
R R Patil died at Leelavati hospital after a long fight with Oral cancer. Patil showed signs of improvement after his initial treatment and was taken off life support in January, but he succumbed to the disease on February 16.[5][6]
