MLAs with criminal cases in Odisha
16 sitting MLAs in Odisha declared at least one criminal case in their election affidavit. It covers 102 of Odisha's 147 assembly seats, those where our seat records and affidavit records agree on the sitting member, so someone may be missing. A pending case is an allegation under judicial process, not a finding of guilt.
