{{BLP unsourced section|date=January 2016}}
[[File:Sunildeshmukh.PNG|thumb|Sunil Deshmukh with supporters during the Vidhan Sabha Election, 2009]]

In the Maharashtra Vidhan Sabha (Legislative Assembly) elections of 2009 Deshmukh rebelled against his party, the Indian National Congress.<ref>{{cite journal|url=https://www.outlookindia.com/magazine/story/mutineers-inc/262035/|author=Smruti Koppikar|title=Flames of rebellion rage across party lines|publisher=Mutineers INC|journal=Mutineer Magazine|date=5 October 2009}}</ref> Despite being a sitting member from Amravati for the previous two terms his claim to the Amravati seat was overlooked in favour of [[Raosaheb Shekhawat]], the only son of then [[President of India]], [[Pratibha Patil]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/cong-does-the-president-s-son-a-favour/520983/|title=Cong does the President's son a favour|work=[[The Indian Express]]|date=24 September 2009|place=New Delhi|accessdate=19 July 2018}}</ref> It is alleged that Shekhawat got the ticket at behest of his mother, who lobbied strongly for his candidature, while Deshmukh was offered a ticket for the neighbouring Achalpur constituency. Deshmukh refused the offer, saying he could not seek a mandate from a constituency where he has not worked. He was also reportedly offered a Cabinet Ministry and membership of Legislative Council if he withdrew from race as an Independent. Deshmukh refused to withdraw, terming the contest as a fight between "an ordinary man of Amravati" and the combined might of "Rashtrapati Bhavan", state machinery and the Indian National Congress. In a closely contested fight, Deshmukh lost narrowly, polling 55,717 votes against Shekhawat's 61,331.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.news18.com/news/politics/presidents-son-scrapes-through-in-first-elections-327150.html|title=President's son scrapes through in first elections|agency=[[News18 India]]|date=22 October 2009|accessdate=19 July 2018}}</ref>

==Janvikas Congress Party and Amravati Municipal Corporation election, 2012==
Having been expelled from the Indian National Congress due to his rebellion in the Vidhan Sabha election, 2009, Deshmukh formed his own political party called Janvikas Congress Party in December 2011. This was done keeping in mind the [[Amravati Municipal Corporation]] elections which were conducted in February 2012. His traditional supporters, including three former Mayors of Amravati, joined this party. Janvikas Congress won seven seats in the Amravati Municipal Corporation election.{{citation needed|date=January 2016}}

==Vidhan Sabha Elections, 2014==
[[File:Sunildeshmukhnomination.jpg|thumb|Deshmukh on his way to file his nomination papers from Amravati during the Maharashtra Vidhansabha elections, 2014]]

In the Maharashtra Vidhan Sabha Elections which were held on 15 October 2014, Deshmukh contested from Amravati constituency on a [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] ticket. [[Nitin Gadkari]] was reportedly very keen to make Deshmukh the BJP candidate from Amravati. On 26 September 2014, Deshmukh officially joined BJP in the presence of [[Nitin Gadkari]] in Nagpur and filled his nomination from Amravati Vidhan Sabha constituency the next day.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.nagpurtoday.in/sunil-deshmukh-anil-bonde-of-congress-join-bjp-certain-to-bag-tickets-for-assembly-polls/09262047|title=Sunil Deshmukh, Anil Bonde of Congress join BJP, certain to bag tickets for Assembly polls|date=26 September 2014|work=Nagpur Today|accessdate=19 July 2018}}</ref> He defeated sitting MLA, Raosaheb Shekhawat, by 35072 votes.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/senior-congress-ncp-leaders-in-vidarbha-face-voters-wrath/article6519571.ece|author=Pavan Dahat|title=Senior Congress, NCP leaders in Vidarbha face voters' wrath|work=[[The Hindu]]|date=20 October 2014|accessdate=19 July 2018}}</ref>
