Dr.K.Padmarajan popularly known as the election king filed his nomination papers as an Independent candidate, his 240th nomination on Thursday for Thrissur Lok Sabha MP elections in Kerala..He submitted his nomination papers to V.R. Krishna Teja, the returning officer. Suresh Gopi, veteran Malayalam actor is the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate here.


Penchant for filing nomination: K Padmarajan, 65 is basically a Malayali settled in Metttur of Tamil Nadu owning a tyre repair shop and has developed a penchant for contesting elections from 1988. Interestingly, winning the elections is not his agenda at all. He enjoys only in contesting and is least bothered about reaching the victory tables. He has lost 238 times so far and is contesting from Dharmapuri and Thrissur Lok Sabha constituencies for the 2024 Parliamentary polls.


One crore expenditure so far: For being a Homeopathic practitioner K Padmarajan is also known as a doctor and has entered the Limca Book of Records for contesting a record number times. Presently, he has paid Rs 25,000/- as security deposit in Dharmapuri and Thrissur Lok Sabha constituencies. Going by the number of elections he has unsuccessfully contested and thereby the expenditure incurred, his investment into the good for nothing elections might have exceeded Rs One crore!


Highest votes in hometown: The highest number of votes polled by Dr K Padmarajan so far was 6,273 in his hometown Mettur during the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections in 2011. Unlike all contestants for any polls winning is not to be found in his wildest dreams for he triumphs in being known as the world's biggest election loser. He has lost elections across the country in Assembly, Council, Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha, and to the positions of Speaker, Chairman, Vice President and President of the nation!


Victory in participating: He proudly proclaims that for him victory is in taking part in the elections and as he is sure of his defeat he also takes it to his stride happily. Dr K Padmarajan is least bothered about the tantrums being made against him for having developed the habit of contesting incessantly.


Role model in creatiing awareness: Dr K Padmarajan proudly proclaims-"Among all the jobs, fighting elections is the most important one. Many people shy away to come forward to contest. On the other hand, I want to be a role model in creating awareness and also maintain detailed records of the nomination papers, and identity cards of each failed bid apart from laminating and safe keeping".

When Punjab Chief Minister's Son Was Paraded On Underwear

Year, 1959, Place Amritsar. Some Indian Army Officers & their wives went to the Railway Station to see off one of their colleagues. Some goons made lewd remarks against the women & tried to molest them. The Army Officers chased the goons who took shelter in a nearby Cinema Theatre. The matter was reported to Commanding Officer Col Jyothi Mohan Sen. On learning about the incident, the Col ordered the Cinema Hall to be surrounded by troops. All the goons were dragged out, the leader of the goons was so heady and drunk with power; he was none other than the son of Chief Minister of Punjab, Pratap Singh Kairon, a close associate of the then PM, Jawahar Lal Nehru. All the goons were stripped to their underwear, paraded in the streets of Amritsar & later interned in the Cantonment.

Dear Friends! I am Dr P K Samantaray, MBBS, MD from AIIMS, New Delhi. I am working as Professor and HOD Psychiatry, at Jagjivan Ram Hospital, Mumbai. I would like to make a small request to you.

Dr Godwin Shiri: An Accomplished Theologist, Author, Research Scholar and Social Scientist..

Dr Godwin Shiri as the name itself suggests is truly a Godly person who won the hearts of people all along and wherever he went across the globe. He is a well-read, widely travelled religious personality having contributed any number of books and translations of eminent philosophers. He is turning 79 today and looking back there seems to be a huge list of accomplishments worth cherishing on the way. Priest on his own inclination: Dr Godwin Shiri himself voluntarily opted for the priestly vocation of becoming a Pastor at a young age, much against the wishes of his family. The sight of the Cross of Lord Jesus Christ and the scenario of thousands of workers marching holding red flags in his native town Mangaluru had a lasting effect on him as a young boy. Recalling the good old days Godwin Shiri admits-"Perhaps they sowed in me the seeds of compassion and social justice".
