    Only in PM Modi's India one can contest elections with a serious cases such as attempt to murder or causing hurt to deter public servant from his duty, rape, communal instigation, national security among other charges.
    Thanks to our lenient autonomous 'Election commision of India' and its verification process.

    In a nation common man cannot be government servant or denied passport if has criminal case. For the politicians of India is exempted.

    Unless there is no reforms within from common people India will be ruled by criminals with fake degree holders taking rating from foreign agencies and its social media cell giving thumbs up.

    Smr
    Out of above 9 some r from khangress at that time you had no problem when they were in sickulars.
    Some BJP MLA were falsely accused by earstwhile CPM govt
    So you can't say they r criminals just because a criminal case has been filed against any one
    In that case both dodamma and pappu r out on bail in a criminal case so what is your say in this matter

    Only 3 out 9 ? That's about 33% which is a big surprise! If you take the saying 'There's a crime behind every fortune' seriously, it should be 66%.

    It seems like people have got only 2 options, Pappu or criminals. You know who people elected.

    Why cant congress nominate capable leader to president role instead of RG. He tumbles and some of his answers shows what a low level IQ he has.

    Criminal background seems to be a basic requirement to become a minister. It is foolish from our part to support this in a country like India where we talk about corruption free but elect only criminal and corrupt leaders.

    Having criminal cases in the C.V. of a politician will be a added benefit. Ticket seekers have to have criminal back ground and criminal cases. Other wise who knows.
