Dr. Padmasinha Bajirao Patil (born 1 June 1943) is a former member of 15th Lok Sabha, the lower house of Parliament of India. He is currently under investigation for the murder of his cousin brother, Pawanraje Nimbalkar.[1]

He is considered as Sharad Pawar's closest confidant. His step sister is wife of Deputy-chief minister Ajit Pawar. He was a minister in the Maharashtra Government for more than 20 years. He is former deputy speaker of the Maharashtra Vidhan Sabha, Deputy Opposition Leader and also the State President of Sharad Pawar's Congress(S).

Patil was elected to the Lok Sabha on a Nationalist Congress Party ticket in the May 2009 general elections. He is a former member of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly for 8 terms. He was responsible for constructing the largest number of Kolhapur Type ("K.T.") Dams in his home turf Osmanabad and was also responsible for making Osmanabad the most irrigated district in the otherwise backward and largely arid Marathwada region.[citation needed] He was responsible in bringing Chhagan Bhujbal into the Nationalist Congress Party and creating other stalwart leaders in the party. His son Ranajagjitsinha Patil is a former Minister of State for Industries, Revenue, Agriculture, Cultural Affairs, Protocol, Employment and Employment with guarantee scheme, Parliamentary Affairs and a Member of the Legislative Council for two terms; he has now been elected as a Member of the Legislative Assembly for Osmanabad Vidhan Sabha constituency.

Corruption allegations[]

The Justice P. B. Sawant Committee indicted him for siphoning off farmers' money from the Terna Sugar Cooperative money meant for victims of Kargil and the Gujarat earthquake. This allegation was never pursued or proved.[2]

Murder charge[]

He was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for his alleged involvement in the murder of his cousin brother, confidant and remanded in the agency's custody. This was considered as a political conspiracy by many against him and Sharad Pawar.[3][4] He was never in judicial custody for more than a week. He was granted bail on a surety of Rs 2 lakh.[5] The trial in Alibaug court began on 6 June 2011 and a verdict in a court of law is still pending.[6][7]
