In the 2017 Gujarat assembly elections, he was elected as MLA from Ghatlodia constituency (Ahmedabad) after beginning his political career as a member of Memnagar municipality.
In the 2022 election, Patel broke his own record by winning from the Ghatlodia constituency by a staggering margin of 1,91,000 votes.
