Another entry in the Worst Congress Sweepstakes

Last month I reported about the shenanigans of Brazil's Congress. This month let's look at India.  Thirty percent of the members of India's lower house of parliament have criminal cases against them.  At the state level the percentage is the same. These cases include serious charges such as rape, murder and kidnapping.  However, one study found no difference in the actions of those legislators who have been charged with crimes as opposed to those who have not been charged.
