In 2014, only 7% of the candidates had criminal cases declared against them. Come 2019, it has increased to 10%, according to a report by the Association of Democratic Reforms (ADR). This is an increase of 53 from 94 candidates during the last election to 117 in the upcoming election.

 Even when it comes to serious criminal cases the percentage of candidates has increased from 5% in 2014 to 6% in 2019. These are crimes, which are not bailable and can result in at least five years of jail. Specifically, five candidates are accused of crimes against women — including two candidates who were accused of rape. Another five are accused of attempted murder. Criminals and their offences Amongst the national parties contending the elections, Indian National Congress (INC) leads the pack with the 13 candidates with criminal cases. This makes up for 15% of the party’s candidates who will be eligible on the polls.

But, only 104 of them are women candidates. Haryana has the lowest sex ratio in the country — which is 832 women for every 1,000 men. The Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) report reflects a stark difference in gender participation among all contesting parties. According to the report, women represent merely 9% of the total candidates fielding the elections, which is the same as 2014 assembly elections. This is even as political parties are focussing on women-centered issues in their campaigns. In 2014 elections, Haryana sent 115 women candidates — accounting for 9% of the total participants. As per the records from the 2014 elections, most women MLAs (44) who won the assembly elections in Haryana were fielded by the Congress. “The reason why women are not given enough tickets is because winnability is a big factor. I think there is a flawed system,’’ Geeta Bhukkal, a former Congress minister and candidate from Jhajjhar <a href="https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/in-haryana-women-s-issues-at-forefront-but-few-candidates/story-Fcy3Pe2SOzYkf1JVEOrsGN.html">told</a> Hindustan Times. The key contesting parties are the Indian National Congress (INC) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). And, with a target of winning 75 seats in Haryana, the BJP has fielded merely 12 women. On the other hand, Congress — which is focussing on addressing issues of economic slowdown and unemployment crisis — too has only 10 women candidates. The Indian National Lok Dal (INLD), which was initially founded as Haryana Lok Dal has the maximum share, 15, in women representation in the elections.

He declared assets worth ₹500.6 crore. His movable assets are worth ₹422 crore and immovable assets are worth ₹78 crore as per an <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/with-rs-500-crore-bjps-parag-shah-is-maharashtras-richest-contestant/articleshow/71450164.cms">affidavit submitted on Friday</a>. The properties are jointly owned by him and his wife. Shah is a real estate developer who owns and manages two construction companies. One of them is MAN InfraConstruction (MICL), a seven-year-old company which builds premium residential properties in Mumbai suburbs. He himself lives in a 5,710-sq ft bungalow in Thane, valued at ₹15 crore. Parag and his wife Mansi own 10 properties, jewellery worth ₹2.6 crore and a Ferrari California worth ₹2.45 crore. They also have shares which are valued at ₹299 crore. According to his IT returns, his annual income for 2018-2019 is at ₹13.7 crore. Whereas, his wife earned ₹11.4 crore during the same time. Shah’s political career began in two years back when he contested Mumbai civic election. Back then, he claimed to have assets worth ₹690 crore.

That means only 8% of the contestants are women — which is in fact lower than Haryana at 9%. Of this, as many as 88 are independent candidates, accounting for 30.5% of the total women candidates. The Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) reports points to this gender divide in Indian politics. In 2014 assembly elections in the state, 161 women candidates contested in Maharashtra, accounting for 7% of the total number of contestants. According to the women politicians in the state, “only if there is a 50% reservation for women in elections, as is done in panchayats, will the women be adequately represented, TOI <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/pune/of-nearly-3300-candidates-in-the-fray-this-time-less-than-10-are-women/articleshow/71639485.cms">reported</a>. “When there is pressure for equal representation of women and men in every field, why should it not be applicable in politics. Even the 33% reservation for women in general elections is pending and no party is willing to take up or implement it,” poll analyst Chandrakant Bhujbal commented. Presently, of the total 288 seats, there are only 20 assembly seats that are occupied by women. This accounts for nearly 12% of the total assembly members. India ranks 148, in terms of women parliamentarians by Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) and the UN.

The incumbent coalition between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Shiv Sena may have ignored this septuagenarian but Pawar seems set for a second innings for his party—even if it in the opposition. As of 2:11 pm, NCP is leading in 55 seats and Congress is leading in 37, which is much higher than that was predicted by exit polls. If the two together have over a 100 seats, they will be a significant opposition even if BJP-Sena win the election.

BJP and Shiv Sena--the frenemies While BJP and allies are in a clear lead, cracks have started to appear in their already fragile bond. The state machinery of BJP which was riding high on the Lok Sabha mandate had all but done away with their five-year old partner. After multiple fights over seat sharing, both the parties decided to field candidates in sensitive areas like Konkan⁠— in regions like Ratnagiri and Raigad⁠— calling it a ‘friendly fight’. But the fight was anything but friendly. BJP openly defied Sena when they fielded Narayan Rane who has been the party’s arch rival for years, as their candidate to put their foot into the Sena strongholds. Now, if Sena continues its lead, they will have better bargaining power. They are not shy of saying it out even before the final tally, and have staked a 50% claim in government formation. Pawar’s proximity to Thackeray can waver angry Sainiks As this melee continues, Pawar may play a key role. Not only does he have enough seats to have a say in the next government, he was also a friend to Bal Thackeray, the Sena founder. There is an emotional connect as the late Thackeray has once refused to field a Sena candidate in a constituency where Pawar’s daughter Supriya Sule was making a debut. It is one of those rare friendships which stood the test of time and politics. Few have ever gained from ignoring an old man agile enough to campaign across the state in rains. He put up a brave front even as he is being investigated by the Enforcement Directorate and many of his party members quit right before elections. Pawar is one of those consummate politicians who has friends across the political spectrum including some high-profile ones in the BJP. So, the power of the opposition led by Pawar will depend on how much he decides to flex his muscle.
