Indian aims to be world's worst politician

An Indian man is standing in the country's national elections for the eighth time so that he can get in the record books for losing the most number of times.

Ajit Kumar Jain wants to earn a place for himself in the Limca Book of Records or Guinness Book of Records "under the category of maximum defeats by an individual in elections."

The employee of a jewellery factory at Dhar in Madhya Pradesh is a veteran of seven national, nine state and seven civic elections.

He's currently contesting the country's parliamentary elections as an independent candidate, reports Press Trust of India.

Mr Jain, who claims to have spent only £3.84 on election expenses is using a chariot mounted on a handcart, bearing the slogan: 'Ensure my defeat with the maximum number of votes', as his campaign vehicle.
