Having Participated in 238 Political Contests, This 'Election King' Has Never Won Once

Dream - K. Padmarajan, a man from Tamil Nadu, India, has been known as the "Election King" because he has participated in at least 238 general elections in his lifetime. In those hundreds of political contests, Padmarajan has never achieved victory.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The story of his life depicts perseverance and determination. The 65-year-old repairman has been actively involved in the political world for the past three decades. He has incurred a lot of expenses to register as a candidate."

Although achieving its highest results in 2011, with obtaining 6,273 votes in the general election in the city of Mettur, Padmarajan still fell far behind the winner who garnered more than 75,000 votes. However, he still hopes for future victories even though the current main focus is resilience and accepting defeat.

"All candidates strive for victory in the election, I don't,"
"ungkap Padmarajan dikutip dari Oddity Central, Jumat, 12 April 2024." translates to: "revealed Padmarajan quoted from Oddity Central, Friday, April 12, 2024."

Having Participated in 238 Political Contests, This 'Election King' Has Never Won Once

His struggle began in 1998 when he ran for an official position in his hometown, Mettur. Despite realizing that he had little chance, he wanted to show that any ordinary person has the right to run for an official position.

"Never Won in Elections"

During the last three decades, he has lost in elections against important figures such as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi or his predecessors Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Manmohan Singh. However, he bears these losses and wants to become an example for the younger generation.

Padmarajan stated that defeat is part of his political journey, and he continues to maintain his belief and perseverance despite having failed 238 times.

"Participate in Elections 239 Times"

"Nevertheless, he does not desire pleasure as the main goal in every general election he participates in. In this year's 239th general election, Padmarajan will once again compete in the Dharmapuri district, Tamil Nadu, with hopes of extending his streak of consecutive defeats."

               

Despite having lost as many as 238 times, Padmarajan continues to inspire the community by conducting lectures on perseverance and overcoming defeat, especially to the younger generation. Despite experiencing continuous failures, Padmarajan wants to show that ordinary people also have the right to participate in the political process and pursue their aspirations without fear of failure.
