Career
[edit]In 2019, Patil contested in the Sangli Lok Sabha constituency under the Swabhimani Paksha party banner.[5] However, he lost against Bharatiya Janata Party's Sanjaykaka Patil by a margin of 164,352 votes.[6]
In 2024, Vishal Patil ran as an independent candidate after the Indian National Congress party could not reach an agreement with its ally in the Sangli constituency, Shiv Sena (UBT), to have him run under their ticket as they had fielded wrestler Chandrahar Patil.[7][8] Vishal Patil won the election and was elected to the Parliament of India.[9][10] Vishal Patil extended his support to the INDIA coalition more specifically the Indian National Congress and thus claims to be the 100th Member of Parliament of the Indian National Congress.
