This is almost certainly more than one person
The dataset carries no candidate identifier, so every ballot line reading “JAGDISH” is grouped by name alone. This record shows contests in 8 different states/UTs, stood in two different states in the same year, a 74-year span across 275 contests, 46 different parties — patterns a single career can’t produce. Read each block below as its own thread, and treat the totals as counts for the name, not for a person.
Every contest
Grouped by state and by Lok Sabha — spelling variants are merged, and, without a candidate id, so are different people who share this name.
