You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Vasantrao Banduji Patil''' (13 November 1917 – 1 March 1989) was an Indian politician from [[Sangli]], [[Maharashtra]].

==Personal life==
Born on 13 November 1917 at 'Padmale' ((convert|3|km|mi|abbr=on)) from Sangli, his native village. He studied up to the vernacular final. Then he became a farmer. His first wife, Malati-tai Patil died in 1960s. Soon later, he married [[Shalinitai Patil]] (then Shalini Jadhav before her second marriage) who was a widow herself with four children from her first marriage. She herself was a minister in Maharashtra in 1980s. Vasantdada did not have any children from his second marriage. His son from the first marriage with Malti-tai Patil, named [[Prakashbapu Vasantdada Patil|Prakash Patil]], represented [[Sangli (Lok Sabha constituency)|Sangli]] in Lok Sabha. After Prakash Patil's death in 2005, his son (and Vasantdada's grandson) [[Pratik Patil]] became MP from Sangli twice.

==Freedom fighter==
He was one of the young campaigners of Dhulappa Bhaurao Navale's election of local board in 1937. In 1940 Navale suggested Vasantdada's name for Tasgaon Taluka Congress secretary.  Vasantdada took part in the independence movement. In 1942, [[Mahatma Gandhi]] started the ''[[Satyagraha]]'' movement. He became a ''satyagrahi'', following Vinoba Bhave, Navale, Vasantdada and V.S.Paage. For this he was jailed by the British government. In jail, he came under the influence of Babasaheb Kher, [[Vallabhbhai Patel|Sardar Patel]] and others.

He was influenced by Netaji [[Subhashchandra Bose]], and believed that neither ''satyagraha'', ''morchas'' nor people's movements alone would get freedom. Instead he looted railways and merchants (to provide the money to keep the struggle alive), and got guns and revolvers from Goa. Many criminal cases were filed against him. The British government offered a bounty of Rs.1000 for him. He was badly injured while trying to escape from jail. He was sentenced to imprisonment for 13 years.

==Political career==
On 25 April 1946 he was released and was welcomed by Sangli people. After Independence he started working on farmers' problems. He established a Market Committee in 1951, with the intention of giving proper prices to agriculture products. In 1958, with his friends Navale, Rambhau Arwade, Abasaheb Shinde, Shankarao Shinde, Abasheb Kulkarni(Khebudkar he started India's largest cooperative sugar factory on ((convert|90|acre|ha|abbr=)) of land. In the first meeting Br. G. D. Patil was elected as chief promoter.

In 1960, he started an Industrial Society on ((convert|135|acre|ha|abbr=)). He made efforts to increase irrigation in Sangli. In 1960 he became the chief promoter of the Groundnut Processors Co-operative Society.

He served as Chairman of Latthe Education Society. He started Miraj Medical College, Civil hospital, Akashwani (All India Radio station) at Sangli.

While active in politics from 1937, he first served as a Minister from 1972 until 1976 under Chief Minister [[Vasantrao Naik]]. In 1976 he was dropped from the Cabinet. He later served as Chief Minister of Maharashtra three times between 1976 and 1985.

He was elected as a member of [[7th Lok Sabha]] from [[Sangli (Lok Sabha constituency)]] in 1980.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.elections.in/parliamentary-constituencies/1980-election-results.html|title=General (7th Lok Sabha) Election Results India- Maharashtra : 46 (Sangli)|website=elections.in))</ref>

==Education==

Vasantdada Patil made great contributions to education.  Before 1983, few engineering and technical colleges served [[Maharashtra]].  Hence, most students were going to other states for studies. Patil sponsored a bill to create private engineering and technical colleges in [[Maharashtra]]. [[Maharashtra]] became a centre for engineering and technical education.
He established Padmabhushan Vasantdada Patil Institute of Technology at Budhgaon, near Sangli on Sangli Tasgaon Road in [[Maharashtra]].

==Political and family connections==
In 1985 he was embroiled in a public dispute with a Deputy Commissioner of BMC, [[G R Khairnar]], for having demolished Patil's son's hotel "Step In". Khairnar eventually became a hero for taking on politicians, including Sharad Pawar. This dispute, meanwhile, discredited Congress rule and combined with other issues, gave the [[Shiv Sena]]-[[Bharatiya Janata Party|BJP]] combination an upper hand in subsequent elections.
 
His elder son [[Prakashbapu Vasantdada Patil]] and his grandson [[Pratik Prakashbapu Patil]] are former MPs from [[Sangli]].

Vasantadada had a vast circle, but few close friends. Among these were  Navale, Page, Charudatta (Charubhai) Shah, P Pandurang Kadam (Tatya), Sampatrao Mane and Vitthal Patil.

His second wife, [[Shalinitai Patil]], is an [[Member of the Legislative Assembly (India)|MLA]] from [[Koregaon]], [[Satara district]]. She joined the [[Nationalist Congress Party]] (NCP) in 1999, but was expelled for her opposition to reservation of 27.5% for [[Other Backward Classes]] (OBCs) in academic institutes such as [[Indian Institutes of Technology]] (IIT) and [[Indian Institutes of Management]] (IIM). However, she later declared that [[Marathas]] were too big a community for any political party to displease, and said "... the economically backward classes across all communities should be given reservation. At least 50 per cent of Maharashtra's population needs quotas."

Vasantdada Patil died on 1 March 1989.
