The campaign donations for 1991 were Rs. 2500 and after 1997, the security deposit was raised to Rs. 15000.[3] His election promises included: repaying all foreign loans, more character building in schools, and bringing back the barter system as a panacea for the Indian economy.[1] Earning of "Dharti Pakad"His nomination papers were usually disregarded by the election commission and he earned the nickname Dharti Pakad (one who clings) after several unsuccessful runs for the President of India.[4] The most prolific year for him was during the 1992 10th Presidential elections where he earned fourth place in the polling with 1135 votes, losing to Shankar Dayal Sharma.[3] He also contested elections from 14 states of India in the 1990s,[1] mostly for state assemblies. In 1992 he contested against K.R. Narayanan for Vice-President of India and secured 1 vote. Election efforts
