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.

Adding to the thread-
1. Javed Abidi stood or as I always say sat for the Lok Sabha elections
in
2004 but alas....
2. Also I think someVI stood from Gujrat. Someone can check AI archives
and
inform the group.
3. I have been hearing rumours of the current Home Minister Mr. Shinde
having lost one eye. I think it is a Retina problem. Lets wait and see if
he
stands in 2014.
There will be others who are old and frail and who should actually be
classified as Disabled who will continue to be politicians.
I am glad to see that some people are interested in the group in politics
and not merely political science for studying and teaching.
If anyone is standing for elections next year or even for a Municipal
election then please let us know. I would be happy to leave my work and
work
on the campaign.

Great idea, if the young among us come forward in politics, tables may
turn
some day.
By the bye, perhaps I wrote SR Bombai as physically challenged. The name
should be Jaypal Reddy, as Prasanth wrote. I don't know if JFK (John F.
Kennedy) was handicapped. However, the same facts are true of Franklin D.
Roosevelt who became paralytic in 1921 and always tried to hide his
disability from public.

I know a totally blind girl who is an active member of Aam aadmi party
(AAP) launched by Arvind kejriwal.
I also have ambitions to become a politician.
Does anybody know how to join ABVP in college?
