Anil S. Benake hails from Karnataka and has been associated with the Belagavi region. He is affiliated with the Bharatiya Janata Party and has been involved in local political and organisational activities before entering the state legislature.

He gained prominence in state politics when he contested the 2018 Karnataka Legislative Assembly elections from Belgaum Dakshin constituency and secured victory as a BJP candidate. His election marked his entry into the Karnataka Legislative Assembly and established him as a political representative from the region.

During his tenure from 2018 to 2023, he was involved in legislative proceedings and constituency-level governance, focusing on addressing local issues and participating in development-oriented initiatives in Belagavi. His role included engagement with administrative authorities and public outreach within his constituency.

In the 2023 Karnataka Assembly elections, he sought re-election from the same constituency but did not secure victory, marking a shift in his electoral trajectory. Despite this setback, he continues to remain active in political and party-related activities.

As of 2026, he continues to be active in Karnataka politics, maintaining his engagement in party activities, constituency-level interactions, organisational responsibilities, and broader public affairs.
