Surprise, surprise!

Of the candidates analysed so far, 269 (18%) have declared criminal cases against them. The highest proportion came from the BJP, the study found, but 17% were from the newly formed Aam Admi party, which is campaigning on an anti-corruption and transparency platform.

Probably among politicians crooks are "aam aadmi" (common man).

I saw in that Aamir Khan show that close to 32% of sitting MPs have criminal cases against them. State MLAs have a higher %.

ADMK, TMC have 100% criminals, BJP leads the numbers in Parliament.

Not that congress is honest, they come a close second - despite controlling the govt. If they were not, congress will have 90% criminals in their ranks.

>>>The surprise is that it is not 18% that don't have criminal cases against them.
