That is the reason no government wants to amend law or make law stricter because most of their legislators would be behind the bar or among the top list who shall face the consequences.

Is there any quota for such people? this is a shame of our democracy.

Yes exactly ! the irony is that while everyone is against criminals contesting elections, all those with criminal records manage to win with a large majority, so who can one blame except people themselves ...they get so easily led by the pre election promises ..

The said criminal records of the elected MLAs is in knowledge of election commission and voters as well. Needless to say the rival candidates to these elected MLAs with said criminal record would have used the facts in the election campaign. Despite this, the voters chose to elect them. Obviously, either these are less criminal than those defeated or people see some virtue in them. Ultimately, voters are supreme and what the decide is irrefutable. Voter is the king.

What Sardar Patel said about India, even before it became independent six decades ago, "India doesn't deserve Democracy" is true and relevant even today.

No doubt that voter is the king but the way it is bought and cast and the numbers show a very unhealthy trend.Last elections I guess about 42% of the total Indian population elected in the General elections ...goes to show how disillusioned people are with the political system !

This is sad as how can the people who have criminal records can control crimes in the city. This is actually our fault why do we vote them and make them to govern. :evil:

Exactly ! why do people vote such criminal elements and give them so much power? Goes to show that Indian voters are simply not mature enough to know all the pros and cons and end up voting the wrong person because of a few reasons - First of all because of poverty, and also a lack of social awareness !

The voters are not immature. What really happens is that those with criminal records have also achievements and have reason for popularity. There are quite honest persons with no criminal record but with less or no achievements and hence voters discard them.
