Fifteen % of candidates face criminal cases; over 50% of candidates' declare their educational qualification to be between ‘5th pass and 12th pass’

An analysis by election watchdog Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) has found that 38 candidates, or 15% of all, appearing in the coming election in Goa have criminal cases registered against them. Nineteen of them face serious criminal charges, including those of assault, murder, kidnap and rape.

Topping the list of parties with such candidates is the NCP, which has 29 per cent or 5 of 17 its candidates facing criminal charges. Coming in second is the Congress, which has nine of its 37 candidates facing similar charges. The BJP (17%), the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak (8%) and the AAP (8%) come third, fourth and fifth, respectively. St. Andre is the only constituency that has three or more candidates having such background.

About 62% of the candidates are crorepatis. There are 30 candidates (12%) who have assets worth Rs. 10 crore or above and 37 (15%) who have between Rs. 5 crore and Rs. 10 crore. The biggest chunk, however, is made up of those having assets worth between Rs. 1 crore and Rs. 5 crore. There are 89 candidates in that category. Ninety-seven per cent of the BJP candidates are crorepatis. The Congress comes second at 92%.
