At least 44% of the current Lok Sabha MPs, which equals 225 out of 514 analyzed, have self-declared criminal cases against them, a study by the Association of Democratic Reforms said. It was found that 5% of these MPs are billionaires with assets exceeding Rs. 100 crore. The report—which comes weeks before the general election—is based on self-sworn affidavits. Just days ago, the ADR, in a separate report, revealed that 222 bills were passed by the incumbent Lok Sabha.
