80% of new U.P. MLAs are crorepatis -Sruthi Radhakrishnan

-The Hindu

While the earlier Assembly saw 271 MLAs or 67% crorepatis, this time there has been a jump of 13 percentage points.

As the BJP got a sweeping mandate with 312 seats in the recently concluded Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, data analysis by election watchdog Association for Democratic Reforms shows that 80% of MLAs in the new Assembly are crorepatis.

The MLAs with the most assets are the BSP’s Shah Alam Urf Guddu Jamali, from Mubarakpur, with over Rs. 118 crore; Vinayshankar from the Chillupar constituency with over Rs. 67 crore; and Rani Pakshalika Singh of the BJP with over Rs. 58 crore.

While the earlier Assembly saw 271 MLAs or 67% crorepatis, this time there has been a jump of 13 percentage points.

Ajay Kumar Lallu of the Congress from Tamkuhi Raj; Dhananjay from the BJP, elected from Belthara Road; and Manisha, also of the BJP from Rath, are the MLAs with the least assets, i.e., lesser than Rs. 10 lakh.

Of the 92 re-elected MLAs, the average assets stands at Rs. 8..62 crore. This is an 87% increase from the average assets of re-elected MLAs in 2012.

Seventy-nine % of newly elected BJP MLAs are crorepatis, while other parties have a higher percentage of crorepatis — the SP has 85%, the BSP 95%, and the Congress 91%.
