got this small article from times of india. Visually impaired shows the way to politicians Melvyn Thomas, TNN May 20, 2009, 10.40pm IST
SURAT: Rambhai Patel does not wear khadi. He has no political connection and has never contested an election. But, on May 16, Rambhai, a visually impaired retired telephone operator in Valsad achieved something that is the envy of seasoned politicians - he polled 27,429 votes as an Independent in the Lok Sabha elections. Yet, fighting elections was not something Rambhai had dreamt of. "I wanted to teach politicians a lesson, show them that elections are not won by money, muscle and liquor power, but by good work and commitment to the people. I cannot see the world, but I decided to open the eyes of politicians who are blind to the ills plaguing our country," says 59-year-old Rambhai, who retired from the Valsad District Co-operative Bank last year.
