Criminals turned politicians galore at LS polls
March 12, 2009
In a bid to pressurize political parties into not fielding criminal
candidates for the coming Lok Sabha elections, a group of more than 1200 NGOs has released the list of 20 Lok Sabha constituencies worst-hit by criminalization.
The list contains constituencies where the elected MPs have criminal charges of serious nature like murder, attempt to murder, extortion, rape, kidnapping, robbery, etc.
