NEW DELHI: Imagine a candidate whose wife always votes for his rival! That's the case with Ajit Kumar Jain 'Patwa' of Madhya Pradesh.
Jain, 55, is contesting from Indore as an independent for a record 27th time and is busy campaigning. But he always fails to "woo" his wife Rajkumari Jain, who votes for his rival.
Ask him why his wife doesn't vote for him and he says: "Bai bai ko vote deti hai (women vote for women).
"My wife votes for the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party's) Sumitra Mahajan even though she has done little for the city," he said.
Jain, who earns Rs.200 per day by making fancy necklaces, has contested no less than eight times for the Lok Sabha and nine times each for the assembly and Indore Municipal Corporation.
This time round he wants enough people to vote for him so that he does not lose his deposit. But will Rajkumari be one of them?

Ghost in American Idol Mansion??
LOS ANGELES: The contestants at this year's 'American Idol' are being troubled by a ghost who has claimed residence in the Bel Air mansion which
houses the aspiring stars.
The ghost has been nicknamed Phyllis by the contestants but young singer Allison Iraheta is terrified of the other worldly apparition, reported People.
"Some people are convinced that there's a ghost there, especially Allison. Phyylis bangs around and keeps people awake. Allison hears something in her room every night. I don't know if someone's just creeping around in there or what," said Anoop Desai who was recently voted out of the competition.
Contestant Lil Rounds, who was also voted out, said that she believes that there is a ghost doing the rounds of the mansion though she has never experienced anything untowardly.
"Allison said she lives in her room. She's heard growls. The rest of the girls swear they saw glimpses of her and different things like that, but I never saw it, and I'm glad I didn't, because I was in a room by myself, so I would've been totally freaked out," said Rounds
