The dataset carries no candidate identifier, so every ballot line reading “KRISHNA” is grouped by name alone. This record shows contests in 6 different states/UTs, stood in two different states in the same year, a 66-year span across 39 contests, 15 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.
