'''Vasanthrao Lakangouda Patil'''([[Kannada]]: ವಸಂತ್ ರಾವ್ ಲಕ್ಕನ್ ಗೌಡ ಪಾಟೀಲ್, ಅಬಾಜಿ) (25 March 1922 – 9 December 2012), widely known as 'Aabaji' (ಅಬಾಜಿ, ಬಾಗಿ(ರಾಯಬಾಗ) ಗುಡ್ಡದ ಭಾರ್ಗವ, ಶಿಕ್ಷಣ ಕ್ರಾಂತಿಯ ಹರಿಕಾರ) was an Indian politician, industrialist, and freedom fighter.

== Early life and education ==

Vasantrao Patil was born on 25 March 1922 to a [[Kuruba|Kuruba-Patil]] ([[Dhangar]]){{citation needed|date=August 2017}} family in Byakud village, [[Bombay State|Bombay state]]. He was born to Shri Sidagouda and Smt. Anandibai Patil. Patil had an older sister and a younger brother, Hutatma Prataprao. His ancestors administrated the surrounding region on behalf of [[Shahaji II|Shahu Maharaj of Kolhapur (Shahaji II)]]. He began his higher education at [[Rajaram College]], [[Kolhapur]], but was unable to complete his degree due to his involvement in the freedom movement.

== Freedom movement ==

Under influence of his teachers like Dr. M.R. Desai, [[Shankar Dattatraya Javdekar|Acharya Jawadekar]], [[N.S. Hardikar]] and Barrister Khardekar, Vasantrao was instilled the spirit of patriotism and social service. While in Kolhapur he came in contact with a radical freedom fighter by the name of [[Nana Patil]] ('''Kranti Sinha'''), who further bolstered his decision to take part in the freedom struggle. Under Nana's guidance both Vasantrao and Prataprao became heavily involved in orchestrating skirmishes in the areas which are today known as [[Maharashtra|Southern Maharashtra]] and [[North Karnataka]]. This led to the assassination of his younger brother Prataprao. Due to the grief of losing his only brother, Vasantrao left college in 1943 and became fully involved in the freedom struggle. As Vasantrao's reputation strengthened, he became one of the most wanted men in the region, leading to a 'shoot at sight' imposition by the British administration.

== Political career ==

Patil first entered politics when he was elected M.L.A. from [[Chikodi Raibagh (Vidhana Sabha constituency)|Chikodi Raibagh]] in 1952 as an [[Independent politician|Independent candidate]], and became the first elected representative for the area post independence. In 1957 he contested successfully once again as an [[Independent politician|Independent candidate]] from [[Raibag (Vidhana Sabha constituency)|Raibag]], which was merged into the newly created State of [[Karnataka]]. He won the election with a significant majority and in addition to this, wielded considerable power across Bombay-Karnataka districts. These events stunned [[Jawaharlal Nehru|Pandit Nehru]], the Prime Minister of India at the time. This caused Nehru to invite Patil to Delhi because Nehru wanted to see the person who had shattered the 'Congress storm'. Nehru invited him to the [[Indian National Congress|Congress Party]] but Patil rejected the offer, as he was a staunch opponent of Nehruvian Socialism (however, he later joined the [[Indian National Congress|Congress Party]] after requests from senior leaders at the time). Below are details of further positions held by Patil:

* 1962–1967 Member of Parliament from [[Chikkodi (Lok Sabha constituency)|Chikkodi]] (IND)
* 1968–1971 M.L.A. from [[Raibag (Vidhana Sabha constituency)|Raibag]] & Minister of Social Welfare under the [[Veerendra Patil]] government (INC)<ref>http://www.elections.in/karnataka/assembly-constituencies/raibag.html Raibag (Karnataka) Assembly Constituency Elections</ref>
* 1972–1977 M.L.A. from [[Raibag (Vidhana Sabha constituency)|Raibag]] & Minister of Social Welfare and Horticulture under the [[Devraj Urs]] government(INC)<ref>https://elections.traceall.in/vidhan-sabha-assembly-election-results/Raibag-in-Karnataka Previous Year's Election Results in Raibag, Karnataka</ref>
* Between 1972–77 he was member of [[Congress Working Committee|Central Congress Working Committee]] and wielded great influence over the [[Indian National Congress|Congress Party]] in Karnataka.
* 1983–1984 M.L.A. from [[Kagwad (Vidhana Sabha constituency)|Kagwad]] & Minister of Industries, Labour, Transportation and Revenue under the [[Ramakrishna Hegde]] government (JP) <ref>http://www.elections.in/karnataka/assembly-constituencies/kagwad.html Sitting and previous MLAs from Kagwad Assembly Constituency</ref>

Bommai]] government (JP)<ref>https://elections.traceall.in/vidhan-sabha-assembly-election-results/Kagwad-in-Karnataka Previous Year's Election Results in Kagwad, Karnataka</ref>

During his political years Patil is credited for implementing various irrigation schemes which turned barren lands into sugarcane belts:<ref name="thehindu">The Hindu Special Correspondent. (2012). V.L. Patil cremated at Bekkeri. Available: http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-karnataka/vl-patil-cremated-at-bekkeri/article4186528.ece. Last accessed 23 November 2013.</ref> for this he was referred to as ‘ನಡೆದಾಡುವ ದೇವರು’ (walking titan) and ‘ಹಸಿರು ಕ್ರಾಂತಿಯ ಹರಿಕಾರ’ (the forerunner of the Green Revolution) by farmers in the region. Patil’s popularity was such that other politicians feared to contest elections against him, thus garnering the name ‘The Tiger of Raibag'.<ref>Express News Service. (2012). ‘Tiger of Raibag’ passes away. Available: http://newindianexpress.com/states/karnataka/article1373346.ece. Last accessed 23 November 2013.</ref>
Among his many acquaintances, [[B.R. Ambedkar]] ('the father of the Indian Constitution') was one of Patil's most revered friends. Patil actively supported [[B. R. Ambedkar|Ambedkar]] during his campaigns and would often seek his advice regarding politics and society.

== Industry and social service ==

Patil established one of the first cooperative sugar factories in Karnataka, Raibag Sahakara Sakkare Karkhane. Additionally, he set up a trust fund called 'Hutatma Prataprao Trust' in the name of his slain brother to provide financial assistance to farmers and students. Adding on to the trust fund, Patil set up a chain of educational institutions under the name of Shikshan Prasarak Mandal Education Society Raibag,<ref>SP Mandal.
