The dataset carries no candidate identifier, so every ballot line reading “MD. SALIM” is grouped by name alone. This record shows contests in 4 different states/UTs, a 40-year span across 13 contests — 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.
