This Man Contested 93 Elections. Now He's Filing Nomination For Next One

Hasnuram Ambedkari, a former revenue department clerk, has already contested and lost 93 elections since 1985, the year he first entered the electoral fray.

A 75-year-old ex-revenue staff is all set to contest his 94th election, as he filed his nomination on Friday for the Uttar Pradesh assembly polls.

Hasnuram Ambedkari, a former revenue department clerk, has already contested and lost 93 elections since 1985, the year he first entered the electoral fray.

Mr Ambedkari told news agency PTI that in 1985 he quit his job as an 'Amin' in the district administration after he was promised a ticket from Fatehpur Sikri seat.

But when the time came, the party refused to honour its end of the bargain and instead made fun of him, he said.
