This is almost certainly more than one person

The dataset carries no candidate identifier, so every ballot line reading “SALIGRAM” is grouped by name alone. This record shows contests in 3 different states/UTs, a 62-year span across 6 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.
