Is this why PARRIKARBAB doesnot want goans to take POLITICS as CAREER...... Half of Cong MPs crorepatis Source: NDTV. Image Source: NDTV New Delhi, Oct 7: A comprehensive report prepared by a Bangalore-based NGO, available with NDTV shows nearly half of Congress MPs are crorepatis and one in every four MPs is a criminal. Based on affidavits filed at the time of nomination, the report shows that every fourth Lok Sabha MP faces a criminal case. Out of these, every second MP faces charges of either dacoity, murder, rape or all these. Any of these can invite a sentence of more than five years. The survey also reveals that More than 50 per cent of MPs with criminal record are from UP, Bihar, Jharkhand and MP; Among the political parties, 35 per cent of RJD, 28 per cent BSP, 19 per cent of SP; 10 per cent of BJP and 8 per cent of Congress MPs face charges; Only the Left Party MPs face no criminal charge. With muscle power has also come an increase in money power and the list of crorepatis in Lok Sabha is equally impressive and long. 50 per cent MPs have assets worth more than Rs 50 lakh; 45 per cent of Congress MPs are crorepatis; Every tenth Congressman owns assests over Rs 10 crore; Congress MPs account for more than 50 per cent of assests of all MPs; Only the Left parties have no millionaires. The survey brought out by Public Affair Centre, a Bangalore-based organisation also shows clear connections between education, criminal record and assets owned. The survey also reveals that 132 MPs are not graduates and 30 per cent of these face criminal charges. The survey also reveals that only 6 per cent of present MPs are not matriculate. Then the people's representatives have not been setting a good example. More than 50 per cent do not repay loans and 45 per cent of these are Congressmen and 23 per cent from BJP. The survey reveals that 13.6 per cent had debts exceeding Rs 10 lakh with total outstanding debt of MPs at Rs 41.3 crore. In addition, MPs do not pay their dues too. According to the survey, 13.8 per cent owe money to government departments and the total dues amount to nearly Rs 8 crore. The survey reveals that MPs have criminal records, possess more wealth than one could imagine and MPs who do not repay debts or pay bills or for that matter do not beleive in PAN numbers. In all a very grim picture of a nation saddled with lawmakers who have little faith in the law of the land. ===== ====================================================================== Men are like steel: when they lose their temper, they lose their worth. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
