Madhya Pradesh Election Watch 2008 Report on 2008 Assembly Elections
This report, on the 2008 Assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh is an outcome of a statewide, non-political,
non-partisan initiative of civil society. The Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR), and Sandhan of
Madhya Pradesh came together to build the Madhya Pradesh Election Watch (MPEW) group in order to
monitor the Assembly elections in the state. The main objective of MPEW is to disseminate information
regarding the electoral process and candidates in an unbiased and neutral manner so that voters can make an
informed choice. In partnership with other organizations around India, MPEW seeks to raise voter awareness
and work towards cleaner politics and governance on an ongoing basis beyond the elections. The first MPEW
was carried out during the 2003 General and Assembly Elections in Madhya Pradesh.
While the process followed in this MPEW was the same as that in 2003, there were some key factors that made
a qualitative difference to the outcome. Firstly, the process of affidavit filing and making the same available to
the citizens is now streamlined into a single-window system by the Election Commission; as a result it was
much easier to access information of the candidates. Secondly, since 2003, MPEW’s partner network has also
increased in size and reach, enabling us to have press conferences in multiple locations as well as in the state
capital Bhopal, and disseminate our information to a much larger population.
This report has information on the following category of candidates and MLA’s:
i. All candidates who contested the 2008 elections
ii. MLAs who won in their respective constituencies
iii. The first ministry which was announced by the new government
This report analyses the candidates’ and winners’ financial and criminal records. A short analysis on women’s
representation amongst the candidates as well as that amongst the winners has also been done. It also reports
whether voters has preferred youth as their representatives or they have preferred old and experienced people.
All the information in this report was obtained from the Election Commission which made available the
affidavits filed by the candidates. These affidavits are now required to be filed as per the Supreme Court
judgments of May 2, 2002 and March 13, 2003 in response to a petition filed by the Association for Democratic
Reforms (ADR).

How representative is the Madhya Pradesh Assembly 2008?
This was the first election after the delimitation of constituencies in Madhya Pradesh. The number of
constituencies remained 230. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won 143 seats, the Congress (INC) 71, Bahujan
Samaj Party (BSP) 7, and others including independents has won 9. The incumbent govt. of BJP returned to
power.
The polling percentage in the state was 69.78%. The votes obtained by the major parties are given in table 1.

With BSP playing a decisive role in Bundelkhand and Baghelkhand, in 35 constituencies of the state, it was a
three-way contest. However, in the majority of the state, it was a two-way contest. Still, only 42 MLAs
managed more than 50% of the total votes polled (See Table 2). BJP that won 143 seats and formed the
government and got 37.64% of the total votes polled whereas Congress managed just 71 seats with 32.39%
votes.
How many votes they required to become MLAs?
Table 2 shows the vote share of the winning candidates in terms of percentage of the total votes polled as well
as in terms of percentage of the total number of registered electors. It informs us that at least 50 MLAs
(21.73%) were elected in spite of polling less than one-third of the total number of votes polled. At least 9
candidates will represent their constituencies in the Assembly despite polling less than one-fourth of the votes
polled. The winner with the least vote share was Raja Manavendra Singh of Maharajpur who managed to win
with a meager 18.78% votes. This independent candidate became an MLA although 81.22% of the voters of his
constituency didn’t vote for him.

Table 3: Comparative Vote Share (2003 vs. 2008)
Although BJP was returned to power in the state in 2008 elections, its vote share dipped considerably as
compared to 2003. The loss of 4.86% votes resulted in a loss of 30 seats (13.04% of the total seats in the
assembly). On the other hand, Congress almost doubled its seats as compared to 2003. It increased its tally by
33 seats (14.35% of the total seats in the assembly) with a gain of just 0.78% votes. BSP, the third player in the
state, increased its vote share by 1.71% that increased its tally by 5 seats (2.17% of the total seats in the
assembly).

Demand for 33% Reservation for Women and Their Actual Representation
As Table 4 shows, representation of women as candidates and as MLAs is very low. Only 226 (7.11%) women
contested out of 3179 contestants and there are only 25 (11.6%) women MLAs out of a total of 230. None of the
political parties gave anything near 33% of the seats to women. While approximately 10% of the candidates
fielded by BJP were women, women constituted approximately 13% of Congress’s candidates. There was a far
cry for the demand from both BJP and Congress that at least 33% seats, if not more, be reserved for women in
assemblies and parliament.
It’s clear that the newly-constituted Madhya Pradesh Assembly does not have adequate representation of
women who constitute half of the state’s population.
It is also noteworthy that only 79 (5.65%) of the total 1318 independent candidates were women. It perhaps
shows that in a money-power and muscle-power dominated election, women cannot afford to contest elections
on their own. The indifferent attitude of major political parties towards women makes the matter worse. It
affirms that women do not figure in the scheme of things of political parties who need their votes too to win.

Table 6: Party-Wise Breakup of MLAs in ST Seats
The voters’ party preference in the constituencies dominated by the scheduled caste population was almost on
the same line as that in General category seats. Out of a total 35 SC seats, BJP won 25 (71%) whereas Congress
won 9 (26%). One seat went to the kitty of Bharatiya Janshakti Party that entered the electoral fray in the state
for the first time.
Similarly, the voters’ party preference in the constituencies dominated by the scheduled tribe population was
not much different from that in the General category seats. Out of a total 47 ST seats, BJP won 29 (62%)
whereas Congress won 17 (36%). One seat went to an Independent candidate.
It’s interesting to note that BSP which is considered to represent the interests of the traditionally oppressed
classes, failed to win even a single SC seat. It managed runner-up position only in 5 of them. Even amongst 47
ST seats, the best performance of BSP was a runner-up position in just one seat. All the seven BSP candidates
7
who won elections were from the General category seats. From this, we can safely conclude that the voters,
while choosing their representatives, considered either the past performance of the candidates or their potential
capabilities in case of the first-time candidates. In other words, the development of the constituency and the
state played main role in voters’ choice of candidates, not the caste and community they belonged to. In this
context, it should also be noted that the BSP increased its vote share by a mere 1.71 %. In 2003, the party’s vote
share was 7.26%; in 2008, it was increased to 8.71%.
The data also shows that BSP performed well in the region bordering UP where it is in power. It has won 7
seats and was runner-up in 19 in this area; all except one of these seats are either in Bundelkhand or
Baghelkhand region of the state i.e the regions adjoining UP. In 140 constituencies, BSP polled less than 10%
of the votes polled. It fared very poorly in all other regions of Madhya Pradesh. The vote share of the two
national parties - BJP and Congress – was evenly spread out across regions.
Youth vs. Experience
For the last few years, there has been an intense debate, sparked off by the media, over how a young country
needs a more youthful leadership. Analysts have pointed out the dichotomy between a country where 60 per
cent of the population is under 35 and yet the share of the population below 35 is very less in the legislative
bodies.
Table 7 shows the representation of various age groups in the Assembly. It shows the age-wise breakup of the
MLAs. It informs us that the largest majority of the MLAs (88) belong to the age bracket of <45-55> followed
by those (77) that come in the age bracket of <35-45>. The MLAs in the bracket of <55-65> number 36.
However, it’s interesting to note that those above the retirement age, that is 65, number only 11 (4.78%). The
number of MLAs in the age bracket of <25-35> too is very low, which is, 7.82%.
Age Bracket (in Years) Number of MLAs

35-45 77
45-55 88
55-65 36
> 65 11
Table 7: Age-wise breakup of MLAs
It seems like that the voters do not prefer candidates who are either too young or too old. They prefer candidates
with a mélange of youth and experience. They don’t go for raw youth. They would rather vote for candidates
who have a proven track record behind them that speaks for themselves. The candidate’s political skills, his
outlook and his ability to handle difficult challenges are considered by the voter in deciding who he/she wants
to vote for. The following statistics affirm it:
• 56 runners-up out of a total of 230 are below the age of 40 years.
• Out of these, only 10 were defeated by those who were younger to them or were of the same age.
• 34 of these 56 ‘young’ runners-up were defeated by those who were older by 10 years or more. Out of
these 34, 14 were defeated by those who were older by 20 years or more.
The voters possibly believe that running a government requires the ability to constantly draw on past
experiences and administrative skills built over a sustained period of time. The knowledge accumulated over
several decades comes handy in dealing with crisis situations.

Money power and Winability
As the Table 8 shows, the higher the asset of a candidate, higher is his chances of winning. While only 8.37% of
the candidates with declared assets of less than Rs. 20 Lakhs managed to win, whereas amongst the candidates
with declared assets of Rs 50 Lakhs or more, 34.18% won.
Assets of Candidates < Rs20 Lakhs Rs 20 Lakhs to 50 Lakhs > Rs 50 Lakhs Winners 8.37 % 20.23 % 34.18 %

Table 9: Percentage of MLAs as per their asset category
While the average asset value of winners was Rs. 1.44 Crore, for that of the losers it was Rs. 0.56 Cr. The major
parties gave tickets to those with high assets - the average declared assets of Congress MLAs was Rs. 2.40 Cr.,
whereas for BJP MLAs, it was Rs. 1.07 Cr.
Criminal Representation in the Assembly
Of all the candidates fielded by major political parties, a total of 208 had criminal cases pending against them.
There were a total of 97 cases of serious nature including murder, attempt to murder, rape, theft, dacoity,
robbery, extortion, kidnapping, and cheating against these candidates (See Table 10). 54 of these won the
elections, that is, 23.48% of MLAs in the current MP Assembly are tainted. Out of these BJP accounted for 27,
Congress for 23, and Other parties for 4. In other words, 18.88% of BJP MLAs have criminal records whereas
32.39% of Congress MLAs have criminal records. 2 MLAs of the 2008 Assembly have murder or attempt to
murder charges against them. It is obvious that neither of the National Parties hesitate in using criminals to win
elections.

* Some Candidates have multiple offences and some have cases not included in this table. Thus, among “Other” parties, there are 46 candidates with criminal charges.
Table 10: Candidates and Winners with Serious Offences
Does crime pay?
Do candidates with criminal records have higher chances of winning? Analysis of the candidates’ data shows
that this is not at all true. There are 97 serious cases against candidates from the registered political parties,
while there are only 18 serious cases against the elected MLAs. This difference in numbers indicates that the
votes have not really preferred candidates with criminal records. Further as table 11 shows, wherever voters had
a significant choice between the clean and tainted candidates, from the major parties, they have largely chosen
the clean ones. The voters were clearly voting for one of the major parties – the BJP and the Congress. If there
were two or more candidates from these two parties in a constituency, then voters had a little choice but to elect
one of them.

Conclusion
The Madhya Pradesh Election Watch sought to equip the voters with the information that they required to
determine who do they want to send to the State Assembly to represent their interests. MPEW informed them
about the criminals who had entered the electoral fray, about whether their candidate is equipped with the
education required for executing his/her responsibilities, and about his/her assets and liabilities. It also informed
them how ‘serious’ our political parties are when they demand that 33% seats be reserved in the parliament and
state assemblies in order that the women get adequate representation. While only 10% of the candidates fielded
by BJP were women, women constituted approximately 13% of the Congress’s candidates. One wonders what
stopped these national parties from fielding women in 33% of the seats they contested. Certainly, there was no
binding by the Law.
14
The collating of information and its dissemination to the voters was done much before the actual date of polling,
through the use of popular media. It was a result of hard work, commitment and passion of the MPEW’s
partners who were spread across the state in giving shape to MPEW’s vision – to strengthen democracy and
governance in India by focusing on the fair and transparent electoral processes.
It can be safely concluded from the MPEW data, that while choosing their candidates, voters kept in mind the
track record of the candidates during their previous stints or their potential to deliver in case of new candidates,
and not his/her caste or community. The setback suffered by BSP that is in power in the neighboring UP is an
interesting indicator to this fact. BSP failed to win even a single seat from amongst the 35 SC seats and 47 ST
seats.
It was also noted that the higher the assets of a candidate, the higher is his/her chances of winning. Madhya
Pradesh assembly elections 208 were no different from other states of the country as far as the role that the
money power plays in winning elections.
It is also obvious from the analysis of the data that neither of the national parties hesitated in using criminals to
win elections. While 23.48% of the MLAs in the newly-constituted MP assembly have criminal cases going
against them in various courts of the country, two of them even have murder and attempt to murder charges
framed against them. Our data also shows that given an option amongst the major political parties, voters would
vote for clean candidates. It was only in those constituencies in which most of the major political parties in the
state fielded tainted candidates; voters were compelled to vote in favour of tainted candidates.
The light at the end of the tunnel is the voters’ indomitable faith in democracy to solve their issues. The voters
came out and voted in large numbers. The voting percentage was as much as 69.78%, higher than that in 2003.
The Waraseoni constituency recorded as high as 84.02% polling. However, only 42 out of a total of 230 MLAs
were elected with a vote share that was higher than 50% of the total votes polled. In 180 seats, the vote share of
the candidates was below 50%. In at least 50 seats, MLAs were elected in spite of polling less than one-third of
the total number of votes polled. The winner with the least vote share was Raja Manavendra Singh of
Maharajpur who managed to win with a meager 18.78% votes. This makes us wonder whether we need to adopt
a process by which, to win an election, it becomes mandatory for a candidate to get more than 50% votes. The
process of declaring the candidate with just the largest vote share in the Assembly constituency as the winner,
15
even if it is a meager 18.78%, stands in sharp contrast with the requirement of having more than 50% seats in
the Assembly to form the government.
Only in a few States such as Kerala, West Bengal and Gujarat, a large percentage of the winners had secured
more than 50 per cent of the votes. In the U.P. Assembly polls of 2007 as much as 96.5 per cent of the winning
candidates won garnering less than 50 per cent of the total votes polled. In the 2004 Lok Sabha elections, 325 of
the 543 MPs won with less than 50 per cent votes. (Source - Election Commission of India)
It’s time that we fix this gap to make the Indian democracy function better.

a win. Yet, it appears that high assets did influence a chance of a party ticket in the major parties. The chance of winning are also higher for candidates with more assets. While more one third (34.18%) of the candidates with declared assets of Rs. 50 lakhs or more, won, only 18.70% of candidates with declared assets of less than Rs.20
lakhs.

Voters’ Right to Know Voters’ right to know about the criminal, financial, and educational background of candidates contesting elections has been firmly established by the historic judgement of the Supreme Court on March 13, 2003 which has made it compulsory for candidates contesting elections of the Parliament and the State Assemblies to submit affidavits as an essential part of their nomination paper, containing information on the following five points:
(1) “Whether the candidate is convicted/acquitted/ discharged of any criminal offence in the past-if any, whether he is punished with imprisonment or fine?
(2) Prior to six months of filing of nomination, whether the candidate is accused in any pending case, of any offence punishable with imprisonment for two years or more, and in which charge is framed or cognizance is taken by the court of law. If so, the details thereof.
(3) The assets (immovable, movable, bank balances etc) of a candidate and of his/her spouse and that of the dependants.
(4) Liabilities, if any, particularly whether there are any over dues of any public financial institution or government dues.
(5) The educational qualifications of the candidate.”
The Election Commission (EC) has issued an order dated March 27, 2003 implementing the above judgement. The EC’s Order also says that in case any candidate does not submit the affidavit along with the nomination form, this “shall be considered to be violation of the Order of the Honorable Supreme Court and the nomination of the candidate concerned shall be liable to rejection by the Returning Officer at the time of scrutiny of nominations for such non-furnishing of the affidavit”.
The EC has also issued another order to the Chief Electoral Officers of all States and Union Territories, dated August 7, 2003, saying that “copies (of the affidavits) are also to be supplied freely and liberally to all other candidates, representatives to media, etc.” EC’s Order of August 7, 2003 further mentions that “the District Election Officers shall furnish copies of these papers to any one on request on payment of standard copying charges”. In a subsequent order of April 01, 2004, the EC has prescribed “Rs.10/- as the fees for copy of one set of nomination paper and affidavits of a candidate.” The EC has further said that “this fee may be obtained in cash, for convenience, against proper reciept.” EC’s order of April 01, 2004 also clarifies that “copies of nomination papers, affidavits, and copies of counter affidavits etc., should be supplied on demand to any individual, political party, organisation, agencies etc. without any discrimination.”
In simple terms,
− Every voter/citizen now has a right to know about the criminal, financial, and educational background of the candidates contesting elections of the Parliament and the State Assemblies.
− This background is contained in the affidavit which has to be filed by every candidate along with the nomination form.
− Every voter/citizen has the right to obtain a copy of the affidavit filed by the candidate. − Copies of affidavits can be obtained from the (a) Returning Officer of each
constituency, or (b) District Election Officers which usually are the Collectors of each district.
− Copies of the affidavits filed by the candidates will be supplied to anyone and everyone without discrimination.
It is now up to the citizens/voters to get to know the background of candidates contesting elections and make an informed choice while casting their vote, so that democracy and quality of governance in the country can be improved.

Background on ADR and National Election Watch
Efforts to strengthen democracy and governance
1. Background

Impact of ADR’s work
Filed and won two landmark judgments on candidate disclosure of criminal and financial records from the Supreme Court in May 2002 and March 2003. Since then over a thousand NGOs around the country in partnership with ADR did Citizen Election Watch for all major elections since December 2002, disclosing candidate background information to the media and the public. The Election Commission has backed this work and the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) has attended each year’s Annual National Conference on Electoral and Political Reforms. A National level political leader contacted ADR during the UP Election Watch in 2007 and wanted the list of candidates for his party with details. This indicates that at the top level, leaders are becoming concerned about the type of candidates they are putting up. This also happened in the Karnataka 2008 Assembly Elections. Bihar Election Watch in October-November 2005 resulted in intense pressure on the Chief Minister Designate due to the extensive media coverage of candidate background. As a result, for the first time perhaps in decades, Bihar has a Council of Ministers without any known criminal record. Both the major National political parties – the BJP and the Congress have started prior candidate scrutiny and checking the financial and criminal record of ticket aspirants. Civil Society non-partisan Election Watches are springing up in different states. In the recent Lok Sabha 2004 Elections, 19 States and 5 Union Territories carried out Election Watches. A compendium of this data was released by the CEC at the Bangalore Conference. We now estimate that about a thousand NGOs around the country would have participated in Election Watch activities, mostly in collaboration with ADR. Members of Parliament (MPs) lined up to clear lakhs of rupees of outstanding dues to the Government for rent, electricity, phone bills and so on to avoid embarrassing disclosures while filing nomination papers. The Election Commission has completed a massive exercise based on the Gujarat Election Watch report to verify information filed by candidates in the nomination papers and affidavits, and has started proceedings against candidates with false declarations. They are now currently doing that for the subsequent elections as well. A Bill on Electoral Expenses was passed in September 2003. The EC has taken it one step forward and asked candidates to file a statement of expenses every 3 days during the campaign. The EC has also made this information (in addition to the affidavits filed by candidates disclosing financial, criminal and educational background) available to citizens on request to Returning Officers, District Election Officers and the CEOs. The issue of corruption and tainted Ministers has now come to the forefront. The recent Bihar November 2005 Elections were a small turning point. For the first time in decades, Bihar has a Cabinet without any tainted Ministers. The civil society pressure due to media disclosure was intense and the CM responded favourably. First time candidates are largely clean. However there seems to be a grandfather clause where established leaders would continue to contest elections.
Web: www.adrindia.org, www.nationalelectionwatch.com, mail:[email protected], ph: 011 6590 1524
A detailed analysis shows that in Bihar where there was only one tainted candidate, the electorate largely rejected him/her. The Election Commission including the new CEC is solidly backing civil society initiatives like these. They inaugurated Civil Society led National Conferences on Electoral Reforms in Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Jabalpur, Bangalore, Patna and this year (2007), in Lucknow. These Conferences were action oriented and resulted in successful Election Watch campaigns. The EC also helped in making candidate nomination papers available. The EC has issued several very significant orders in the last one or two years relating to candidate disclosure, enforcing that affidavits are complete, taking action against false affidavits on the basis of complaints, and disclosing electoral expenses. These orders empower the citizen and strengthen her right to information. Work on cleaning up political parties has started. This includes using RTI to get financial and organizational information on all major parties out in the public domain, and using the media, workshops and seminars, and working with the EC and the Standing Committee of Parliament to get changes done. In addition to advocacy and lobbying, we will also bring out reports on the State of Political Parties. Work is in progress. In April 2008, ADR obtained a landmark ruling from the Central Information Commission saying that Income Tax Returns of Political Parties would now be available in the public domain along with the assessment orders. ADR and its partners are now using that in the Lok Sabha campaign for the 2009 general elections. Using the information above, ADR has filed a PIL asking that those parties that have not given a list of all donors above Rs.20,000 as required by law should be asked to pay taxes. The PIL has been admitted. Karnataka Assembly Elections, 2008: There was a reduction in the number of candidates with serious offenses put by parties. These offenses include murder, attempt to murder, bribery, cheating, forgery, causing hurt by dangerous weapons, rape, theft and outraging the modesty of women. There were 93 such cases against candidates in the 2008 elections, down from 217 in the 2004 assembly elections. Mr. L.K. Advani, Leader of the Opposition gave a press statement that their party, the BJP would not field candidates with criminal records (October 2008). He said even if they were “winnable”, they would not be given tickets. A similar announcement was given by Rahul Gandhi of the Congerss a couple of months back.
