==Political career==
In the last 30 years, from a Sarpanch to an MP and later a Minister of State, Raosaheb has held various leadership positions. Earlier, he has been a general secretary of Maharashtra BJP, and twice the vice president. Danve has been renowned as a leader with rural roots. He started his journey as a [[Sarpanch]], and later became a [[Member of the Legislative Assembly (India)|MLA]] in 1990, 1995 from [[Bhokardan (Vidhan Sabha constituency)|Bhokardan]] assembly constituency,<ref name="elections.in">{{cite web|url=http://www.elections.in/maharashtra/assembly-constituencies/1990-election-results.html|title=Maharashtra Assembly Election Results in 1990|work=elections.in|access-date=5 February 2016}}</ref><ref name="elections.in1">{{cite web|url=http://www.elections.in/maharashtra/assembly-constituencies/1995-election-results.html|title=Maharashtra Assembly Election Results in 1995|work=elections.in|access-date=5 February 2016}}</ref> and 5 time consecutive [[Member of parliament]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.elections.in/maharashtra/parliamentary-constituencies/jalna.html|title=Jalna(Maharashtra) Lok Sabha Election Results 2014 with Sitting MP and Party Name|work=elections.in|access-date=5 February 2016}}</ref> since 1999, 2004, 2009, 2014, & May 2019.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/aurangabad/state-chief-danve-secures-his-fifth-successive-term/articleshow/69471490.cms|title=Maharashtra chief Raosaheb Danve secures his fifth successive term {{!}} Aurangabad News - Times of India|last=May 24|first=Prasad Joshi {{!}} TNN {{!}} Updated|last2=2019|website=The Times of India|language=en|access-date=2019-05-26|last3=Ist|first3=12:54}}</ref>

During the [[2014 Indian general elections|general elections]] that were held in May 2014, Raosaheb Danve-Patil won the [[Jalna constituency]] for the fourth time. Immediately afterwards, he was sworn in by the Prime Minister [[Narendra Modi]] as the Minister of State for [[Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution]], the position he held till March 2015.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ndtv.com/people/raosaheb-danve-minister-of-state-consumer-affairs-food-and-public-distribution-564071|title=Raosaheb Danve: Minister of State (Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution)|date=26 May 2014|work=NDTV.com|access-date=5 February 2016}}</ref>

Meanwhile, [[2014 Maharashtra assembly elections|Maharashtra assembly elections]] were held in October 2014. BJP came to power and Devendra Fadnavis became first BJP [[Chief Minister of Maharashtra]]. However, as per the BJP culture, one person only holds one post a time, and hence Devendra Fadnavis resigned as the President of Maharashtra BJP and the search for a new leader commenced. Raosaheb Danve indicated to the party leadership that he was willing to resign as a minister<ref>{{cite web|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/union-minister-raosaheb-dadarao-danve-resigns/|title=Maharashtra BJP president Raosaheb Dadarao Danve resigns as Union Minister|date=5 March 2015|work=The Indian Express|access-date=5 February 2016}}</ref> and in January 2015 he was appointed as the President of Maharashtra BJP by [[Amit Shah]], the national [[President of BJP]]. Raosaheb Danve is only the second person in Maharashtra BJP to hold this office while also being a Member of Parliament. Earlier, late [[Suryabhan Vahadane-Patil]] had successfully carried the dual responsibility.{{citation needed|date=January 2016}}

In 2016, a FIR was lodged against Danve for asking voters to accept [[Lakshmi|Laxmi]] coming to their homes on election eve (alluding to money).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/accept-laxmi-coming-to-your-home-maharashtra-bjp-chief-to-voters-1639004|title=Accept 'Lakshmi' Coming To Your Home: Maharashtra BJP Chief To Voters|website=NDTV.com|access-date=2019-05-26}}</ref> He later said that by ''laxmi-darshan'' he only intended to invoke prayers for a BJP victory and "taking Gods name cannot amount to violation of election code of conduct".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.afternoondc.in/city-news/take-laxmi-darshan-does-not-mean-take-money-danve/article_183979|title=Take 'Laxmi darshan' does not mean take money: Danve|website=www.afternoondc.in|access-date=2019-05-26}}</ref>

By May 2017, the ''[[Pigeon pea|Tur]]'' production in Maharashtra had gone up to 20.35 lakh tonnes due to a good rainy season.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/mumbai/danve-abuses-farmers-over-tur-draws-flak/article18421438.ece|title=Danve abuses farmers over tur, draws flak|author=Staff Reporter|work=The Hindu|access-date=2017-05-12|language=en}}</ref> But the prices quickly fell and the farmers were suffering. Addressing a meeting in Jalna, when the topic was brought up, Danve lost his temper and said ''"Our party workers should now not cry but fight. Just the day before yesterday, we've asked officials to procure one lakh tonne tur daal. Yet these people saale (referring to farmers) are crying. Are you reading too many newspapers? Don't read!"'' <ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/maharashtra-bjp-chief-raosaheb-danves-angry-comment-on-farmers-sparks-protests-1692275|title=Maharashtra BJP Chief's Angry Comment On Farmers Sparks Protests|work=NDTV.com|access-date=2017-05-12}}</ref> This insult directed towards the farmers was criticised by the opposition parties. [[Shiv Sena|Shivsena]] held protests against him as well and Danve expressed his regrets concerning his comment. In 2019, Danve said that the word ''saale'' is a common slang term which is not derogatory in rural marathwada, and he never intended to offend farmers.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.loksatta.com/maharashtra-news/lok-sabha-election-bjps-language-chiefs-language-is-aggressive-1909638/|title='जायकवाडीची खोली आणि दानवेंची बोली'!|date=2019-06-11|website=Loksatta|language=mr-IN|access-date=2019-06-11}}</ref>
