A report by the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) says 65% of newly elected MLAs in West Bengal have declared criminal cases and 61% are “crorepatis,” or have assets of at least ₹10 crore. The analysis covers newly elected candidates, totaling 286 winners for whom declarations were examined. Party-wise figures show that among winners from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), 152 of 206 candidates (74%) report criminal cases. For the All India Trinamool Congress (TMC), 34 of 80 winners (43%) report criminal cases. The report also states that a majority of the newly elected legislators have high declared wealth, with 61% categorized as crorepatis based on their asset declarations. The findings are based on candidate affidavits and the ADR’s aggregation of those disclosures, as presented in the cited coverage. Across both sources, the central figures emphasize the extent of criminal-case declarations and the proportion of legislators with assets above the crorepati threshold.
