Vishwajit Pratapsingh Rane (born 23 March 1971) is an Indian politician and a cabinet minister in the Government of Goa headed by Pramod Sawant.

Rane was the Minister of Health, Agriculture & Craftsmen Training in the Government of Goa led by Digambar Kamat from June 2007 to March 2012.

[17] Rane started his political career as a member of the Indian National Congress and also used the platform of his organisation named Sattari Yuva Morcha.

As a result, Pratapsingh Rane successfully contested as the Indian National Congress candidate in the 2007 Goa Legislative Assembly elections from the Poriem constituency while Vishwajit successfully contested as an independent from the neighbouring Valpoi constituency after resigning as the General Secretary of the Goa Pradesh Congress Committee and also from the party's primary membership.

[5] On 24 June 2010, Rane resigned as the independent MLA and also as a Cabinet Minister, to contest a by-election from Valpoi constituency as an Indian National Congress candidate.

[27] In the 2012 Goa Legislative Assembly elections, Vishwajit emerged victorious from Valpoi constituency as a candidate of the Indian National Congress.

[30] Vishwajit Rane retained his Valpoi constituency as a candidate of the Indian National Congress in the 2017 Goa Legislative Assembly elections.

[31] But after the Indian National Congress could not form the government despite securing 17 seats in the 40-member Goa Legislative Assembly, Vishwajit Rane blamed the party leadership.

[34][35] While Chief Minister of Goa Manohar Parrikar proved his majority on the floor of the house on 16 March 2017, Vishwajit Rane remained absent[36] during the voting in protest of the leaders of the Indian National Congress.
