RAJENDRAN

AIADMK·PMK·CPI·IND·JP·BJP·SUC

This is almost certainly more than one person

The dataset carries no candidate identifier, so every ballot line reading “RAJENDRAN” is grouped by name alone. This record shows contests in 3 different states/UTs, stood in two different states in the same year, a 41-year span across 10 contests, 7 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.
