Babu Subudhi

Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha, Assembly. Shyam Babu Subudhi from Odisha's Berhampu has contested them all as an independent since 1962. Failure, however, hasn't been a deterrence. In fact, he lost 32 times. Mr Subudhi is now once again eying a win in the national elections that will start on April 11.

For some, contesting elections may be a do or die situation but for Berhampur's K Shyam Babu Subudhi, who has fought Lok Sabha and Assembly elections 27 times but has never won, being in the poll fray is just a 'hobby'.
