Ans: YES. As per Section 33 (7) of R. P. Act, 1951, a person can contest for a max of two(2) constituencies for Lok Sabha election. Most of the politicians these days do contest from two constituencies to be on the safer side. Generally party presidents and party big wigs contest in more than one in order to make sure they dont loose from the single seat they contest. And if they win in both the places, they need to resign in one of the places.
