Independent candidate to fight his 159th election against Modi

April 04, 2014 11:24

A 55-year-old man has come to Vadodara all the way from Tamil Nadu to fight elections against Narendra Modi, with not an aim for winning but to set a record.

Having no political ambition or hope to win elections, the Tamil Nadu-based tyre trading firm owner Dr K Padmarajan filed his nomination as an independent Lok Sabha candidate from the Vadodara seat yesterday, just to set a world record of fighting maximum number of elections.

Padmarajan, who is a qualified homoeopathic doctor, has already fought and lost all the 158 elections in the past.
