He became Chief Minister for the first time from 1968–1971 and the second time was almost 18 years later, from 1989–1990.

== Biography ==
Born in a middle-class family in [[Chincholi]] in [[Gulbarga district]], Patil belonged to the dominant Banajiga [[Lingayat]] community.<ref name="Blom 176">{{cite book|author1=Thomas Blom Hansen |author2=Christophe Jaffrelot|title=The BJP and the compulsions of politics in India |year=2001|page=176 |quote=The Lingayat votes had been important to the Janata Dal since 1978. Without Veerendra Patil (a member of the Banajiga jati), the long-standing difficulties of the national party president S. R. Bommai in appealing to voters beyond his Sadar jati (which had earned the resentment of other jatis by gaining a disproportionate share of spoils) became especially serious|url=https://archive.org/stream/in.ernet.dli.2015.118598/2015.118598.The-Bjp-And-The-Compulsions-Of-Politics-In-India_djvu.txt}}</ref> He was first made a Deputy minister for Home in the [[S. Nijalingappa]] government in 1957. He was elected several times from [[Chincholi (Vidhana Sabha constituency)|Chincholi]] assembly constituency of [[Gulbarga]] district to the [[Karnataka Legislative Assembly]]. In his youth, Patil teamed up with [[Ramakrishna Hegde]] and took control of the Congress organisation in the state on Nijalingappa's behalf. Being young and charismatic ministers in Nijalingappa cabinet, they both were referred as 'Lava-Kusha'. When he moved to federal politics, Nijalingappa chose Patil as his successor.<ref name=stat5>{{cite web|title=Veerendra Patil- Biography |url=http://www.veethi.com/india-people/veerendra_patil-profile-585-19.htm |publisher=Veethi |url-status=live |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120421060400/http://www.veethi.com/india-people/veerendra_patil-profile-585-19.htm |archivedate=21 April 2012 }}</ref>

Patil's first innings as Chief minister lasted 33 months and 10 days. His control over the state administration dispelled the impression that he was just a dummy for his mentor, Nijalingappa, then the president of the [[All India Congress Committee]].<ref name="stat1" />

It was during his tenure that the century-old [[Cauvery Dispute|Cauvery water dispute]] gained ground as [[Tamil Nadu]] objected to the irrigation projects in the [[Cauvery]] basin. Patil went ahead with the projects even though the Central Water Commission refused to clear them, to protect the interests of the farmers of the south Karnataka region who were heavily dependent on irrigation from Cauvery. Also, It was he who promoted the Karnataka Power Corporation and separated the state electricity board from the responsibility of generating power.<ref name="stat1" />

However, Patil was also charged with favouring his Lingayat (Banajiga) community.<ref name="Blom 176"/> After the Congress split in 1969, Patil's [[Indian National Congress (Organisation)|Congress (O)]] party remained in power in the state until 1971 and crashed to a dismal defeat in the state assembly election in 1972 at the hands of [[Indian National Congress|Congress (I)]].

Later, Patil returned to the hub of state politics as chief of the [[Janata Party]]'s Karnataka state unit. He was also made the sacrificial lamb in the 1978 Lok Sabha by-election in [[Chikmagalur (Lok Sabha constituency)|Chikmagalur]] which featured [[Indira Gandhi]] in the fray. Through the often acrimonious campaign, Patil, who was the candidate of the Janata Party, refused to indulge in personal attacks on Indira Gandhi. The same year, he lost his Rajya Sabha seat to Hegde. When he lost the state Janata Party presidency to [[H.D. Deve Gowda]], Patil moved over to Indira Gandhi's Congress-I.<ref name="stat1">{{cite web|title=Veerendra Patil, Karnataka politician, dies at 73 |url=http://www.rediff.com/news/mar/14patil.htm |publisher=Rediff on the net |url-status=live |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100530055322/http://www.rediff.com//news/mar/14patil.htm |archivedate=30 May 2010 }}</ref>

The twin defections of Veerendra Patil in Karnataka & Hitendra Desai in Gujarat turned around the fortunes of Congress(I), which otherwise had a spate of allegations against it. Winning election to the Lok Sabha from [[Bagalkot (Lok Sabha constituency)|Bagalkot]], he became Union [[Ministry of Labour and Employment (India)|Labour]] and [[Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas|Petroleum minister]]. However, he was later dropped from the Cabinet.

He won [[Gulbarga (Lok Sabha constituency)|Gulbarga]] seat in [[1984 Indian general election]]s by defeating [[Vidyadhar Guruji]], a former [[Member of the Legislative Assembly (India)|MLA]] from [[Gurmitkal (Vidhana Sabha constituency)|Gurmitkal]].<ref name=Vidyadhar>{{cite web|title=Freedom fighter Vidyadhar Guruji dies aged 105 |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/karnataka/freedom-fighter-vidyadhar-guruji-dies-aged-105/article19390059.ece |publisher=[[The Hindu]] |url-status=live |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20201109042152/https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/karnataka/freedom-fighter-vidyadhar-guruji-dies-aged-105/article19390059.ece |archivedate= 9 November 2020 }}</ref>

With none of the state congress leaders able to draw the masses, the state leadership fell onto Veerendra Patil's shoulders. As state party chief in [[Rajiv Gandhi]]'s time, Patil reinvigorated the Congress in the state. The anti incumbency wave and the split in the Janata party resulted in a landslide victory for the Congress in November 1989. Veerendra Patil had led the election campaign on twin promises: Water & Transport facility to every village. Congress won 178 out of 224 MLA seats, which is its largest victory to-date (2020).<ref name="stat1" /><ref name=elections>{{cite web|title=Highlights of 1989 Karnataka Assembly Elections |url=http://www.partyanalyst.com/electionDetailsReportAction.action?electionId=122&stateID=12&stateName=Karnataka&electionType=Assembly&electionTypeId=2&year=1989 |publisher=Party Analyst |url-status=live |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130206013937/http://partyanalyst.com/electionDetailsReportAction.action?electionId=122&stateID=12&stateName=Karnataka&electionType=Assembly&electionTypeId=2&year=1989 |archivedate= 6 February 2013 }}</ref>

With fiscal deficit reigning high & diminishing returns, Veerendra Patil took charge at a difficult time.<ref name=oath>{{cite web|title=Chief Minister Veerendra Patil, taking oath |url=http://rajbhavan.kar.nic.in/ophotoalbum/pages/venkat2%20_jpg.htm |publisher=Raj bhavan, Karnataka |url-status=live |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070321085604/http://rajbhavan.kar.nic.in/ophotoalbum/pages/venkat2%20_jpg.htm |archivedate=21 March 2007 }}</ref> He appointed [[M. Rajasekara Murthy]] as finance minister. The duo attacked the seconds liquor lobby by hiking the export duty by 10 times, from 2% to 20%. This had the dual-effect of reducing seconds-liquor consumption and also boosting the revenue of state government. It is to Patil's credit that he summoned the courage to take on the liquor lobby, at the risk of angering many benefactors of his party. He stuck to the line that his duty was first to the state and then, next to his party. This honesty proved dearly to him, though he became widely popular among the woman-folk of the state.<ref name="stat1" />

His efforts to streamline the administration and stem the rot in the secretariat was acclaimed by many.<ref name=stat2>{{cite news|title=Veerendra Patil had just 13 ministers|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-02-16/bangalore/31066064_1_ministers-clear-files-work-culture|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130104065719/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-02-16/bangalore/31066064_1_ministers-clear-files-work-culture|url-status=dead|archive-date=4 January 2013|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]|date=16 February 2012}}</ref> However, he was felled by a stroke in October 1990 just as communal riots broke out in some parts of the state. It was widely speculated then, that the riots were engineered by Congress politicians who were keen to get rid of Patil. He was unceremoniously sacked by the then Congress President [[Rajiv Gandhi]].

Patil never recouped after this incident. His health failed him and he decided against contesting the 1994 elections. Congress lost miserably and could not even become the main opposition party in that elections.

He died on 14 March 1997 in [[Bangalore]].<ref name=business-standard/><ref name="stat1" />
