After losing over 30 elections, 78-year-old Teetar Singh is all set to try his luck again in the 2023 Rajasthan polls. Singh has reportedly fought 30 elections — from Gram Panchayat to Lok Sabha since 1970s — and has faced a defeat every single time. But his passion and enthusiasm towards fighting for the rights of the people continues to encourage him to contest every — small or big — election.

Teetar Singh is fighting as a Independent candidate from the Karanpur assembly constituency. He has already filed his nomination from this seat. He told the Hindustan Times that he is contesting the election for the 32nd time.

“Why should I not fight,” Teetar Singh asked when questioned why was he contesting poll even after having lost over 30 elections so far.
