New Delhi: As the race for Karnataka heats up, the BJP seemed to have beaten the Congress in fielding candidates with criminal cases.
“Among major parties, 83 (37 per cent), out of 224 candidates from the BJP, 59 (27 per cent) out of 220 candidates analysed from the INC have declared criminal cases against themselves in their affidavits,” a report by the Association for Democratic Reforms stated.
However, the Congress was mildly ahead as far as the number of crorepati candidates was concerned.
