Political career
Mohite-Patil started his career as Sarpanch of Akluj in Solapur district.[citation needed] He served as President of Solapur Zilla Parishad from 1971 to 1979[citation needed], and was MLA representing Malshiras from 1980 to 2009. In that time he established sugar factories, milk dairies & processing industries, poultry farms, schools, nursing college, engineering college and a D.Ed College in Malshiras Taluka. On 25 December 2003 he was sworn in as the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra.[2][3] Also he was a cabinet Minister of PWD, Tourism and Rural Development Ministry.
In the 2009 elections his position as MLA from Malshiras became a Reserved Seat, forcing him to shift to the neighbouring Pandharpur seat. He was defeated in the elections that followed.[4] NCP president Sharad Pawar eventually named him president of the Maharashtra State Co-operative Sugar Factories Federation.[5] In 2014, he was elected as MP from Madha constituency in Maharashtra.
