The incoming Bihar Assembly will have more MLAs charged
with criminal cases than its predecessor, will be substantially richer
and will have fewer women, an analysis of election affidavits by the
Association for Democratic Reforms shows.
In the
243-member House, 142 MLAs have been charged with criminal cases, 98 of
them with serious cases including murder, rape and communal disharmony.
There is little to choose between parties, with over half the MLAs of
all leading parties charged with criminal cases and over a third charged
with serious cases. JD(U) MLA Dadan Yadav leads the pack with 28 cases
against him.
Among MLAs charged with crimes, 70 have already had charged framed by courts against them.
