Career
Patil represented Tikota in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly in the 1990s. He won with a Janata Dal ticket in the 1994 election and with a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ticket in 1999.{{cite news |title=Shivanand Patil quits BJP, likely to join Congress |url=http://www.hindu.com/2004/03/28/stories/2004032807740400.htm |access-date=29 April 2024 |work=The Hindu |date=28 March 2004 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040503005839/http://www.hindu.com/2004/03/28/stories/2004032807740400.htm |archive-date=3 May 2004}} In March 2004, he quit the BJP expressing unhappiness with the party's "internal culture". Ahead of the legislative assembly election, the party had given away the Tikota seat to a Janata Dal (United) candidate, a party they were in coalition with, which Patil noted on being done without consulting him.{{cite news |title=Shivanand Patil quits BJP |url=http://www.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/mar282004/s12.asp |access-date=29 April 2024 |work=Deccan Herald |date=28 March 2004 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040823113102/http://www.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/mar282004/s12.asp |archive-date=23 August 2004}}
