What percentage of Lok Sabha poll winners are crorepatis according to an ADR analysis
According to an analysis by the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR), around 88% of Lok Sabha MPs elected in the 2019 elections were crorepatis. Here are some key findings of the ADR analysis:
- 88% of the MPs analyzed were crorepatis, indicating that wealth plays a significant role in Indian politics.
- The average assets of these MPs were substantially higher compared to the average Indian citizen, highlighting a wealth disparity.
- The analysis also revealed that many MPs had diverse sources of income, including business, real estate, and investments.
- This high percentage of crorepatis raises concerns about the influence of money in politics and access to political power for candidates without significant financial resources.
