Superstition and politics go hand in hand, so it seems from Delhi politicians' apparent hesitation to contest from a Lok Sabha seat three times in a row.

The 'third-time-unlucky' jinx, appears to have made several politicians switch over to a new constituency after two wins ... Believers of the "third-time-unlucky' jinx cite the example of Sushma Swaraj who has decided against contesting the South Delhi seat ... It would have been her third contest in a row after two successive victories. (Source: The Times of India, 25 August, 1999)
