Criminalization of politics Reasons
1. Vote bank- SC : voters not organically evolved till now- thus nexus between politicians and criminals 2. Corruption - increasing criminals in LS
3. Loop holes in function of ECI- MCC is openly flouted by candidates 4. Denial of justice and rule of law- only 40% cases against politicians transferred to Special courts - that too have only 11% conviction
5. Criminals- though debarred from election - but continue high posts in party
