In today’s episode of things that hurt more than a breakup, here is a man who stood for contested in the Gujarat Panchayat elections and lost terribly.

However, that’s not the sad part.

The sad part of the story is that he just got one vote, when he had 12 voters in his family itself.

A man named Santosh Halpati had stood in the village elections for the post of the Sarpanch in the Chhawla village of Vapi district in Gujarat.

Even if he did not expect to win with flying colours, he most definitely would have expected at least 12 votes since there were that many people in his own family who were eligible to vote.

However, he was deeply hurt and shocked when the results of the poll came out.

He found out that he had just got one vote. Hold your sympathies just yet. Wait till you hear who the one vote is from.

It’s his own.

Not a single person in the village or his family voted for him and the only vote he got was his own. That’s gotta hurt.

He was apparently so hurt from his family not voting for him that he broke down at the poll centre itself.

He said while he doesn’t mind the rest of the villagers not voting for him, he didn’t expect his own family to do him wrong like that.

The fact that not a single person in his family had confidence and trust in him was really disheartening for him.

Elections for 8,686 village panchayats in Gujarat were held on Sunday and results for 6,481 villages were declared last night. “Elections come and go,” Santosh told India Today. “But I got just one vote.. even my family did not vote for me,” he added.

Santosh’s family of 12 members, including his wife, apparently either didn’t vote or went against him and voted for other candidates. In either case, it is truly heartbreaking.
