The 63-year-old real estate businessman claims that contesting an election boosts his self-confidence.
Unfazed by defeats 18 times in various elections he contested over the last three-and-a-half decades, Indore resident Parmanand Tolani has not lost hope and he has now filed nomination for the upcoming Madhya Pradesh assembly polls. The 63-year-old real estate businessman claims that contesting an election boosts his self-confidence, though he has every time lost his security deposit.
The serial defeat in elections has earned him the title of "Indori Dharti Pakad", drawing the name from late Kaka Joginder Singh aka 'Dharti Pakad', from Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh who had contested and lost several elections in the country.
On Monday, Tolani filed his nomination as an independent candidate from Indore-4 seat for the Madhya Pradesh assembly elections scheduled on November 17.
