Patil says he began his socio-political activism after the [[Revocation of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir]], the [[Aarey Forest]] environmental protests, and the [[2019 Jamia Millia Islamia attack]] which sparked the [[Citizenship Amendment Act protests]]. Patil has also been a vocal critic of the [[Narendra Modi]] led government for its mishandling of the [[COVID-19 pandemic in India]], claiming that [[social media influencers]] did a better job of helping Indian civilians than the Central government did, during the Covid19 spike in 2021. Patil also criticized the Central government's deflection of responsibility for the Covid19 crisis, and highlighted the silencing of dissent during the pandemic. He says that he has been stalked, abused, and threatened for being critical of [[Narendra Modi]]'s governance and policies.<ref name="mediaindia.eu" />
