I think tainted minister should be barred from contesting election. They are mainly responsible for tarnishing the image of this field. In country like ours where voters are not aware of the power of their votes, lured by tainted people by distributing money etc. At the time of election and go on to win the election. After that they openly trade their charges, criticize judiciary and most importantly use their power and position to alter the investigation.
I think it would be good if they must submit their resignation first on the moral ground and if they come out clean then they should be reinstated in their office.

I think tainted person are not allowed for election because they can not take good decision because if they have good mind it men if they can take good decision so they go to jail. If they come in politics so politics is corrupted and politics leader will not work his duty honestly.

Hello friends,
Since the tainted person has winged strong fear on respective constituency. Apart from that they lure voters by offering money to us and we are so much fool that we accept their offer and allow them to extort us for next five years. Some bully contestant are also on battle ground who have many criminal charges. Even Though they come to assembly.
Firstly it should be taken care by party presidents who give ticket to such criminals in other words. Inspite of that if they get a chance to fight then we people should make them realise that how much our votes worth. Actually they contestant are not fight with one another, they are with us. If we choose a good and loyal person to send in assembly then we can ask one about our rights. Afterall he is opted by us to serve us not to rule us. So tainted people should definitely restricted to fight.
Inflation, corruption, unemployment, poverty etc all the odds appear just because of this sort of people. So protect them to reach them to assembly house and wipe out all these evils.
Thank You.

Good Morning Folks.
According the current economic, social and civil condition of the country, it is of utmost importance that we have complete knowledge about the political candidates' background as well as criminal cases pending against them in the courts. India being a democracy, cannot implement and execute any rule which bares people with criminal cases and such other issues pending from contesting the elections. If this is done then, it would no longer be a democracy and wage a war in itself which may possibly cause a civil war.
In today's scenario, 30% of candidates contesting Lok Sabha Elections have such derogatory issues against them, which increase to 31% when looked at Vidhan Sabha candidates.
There have been cases of candidates wanting to contest elections who are on probation.
The only solution that lies in front of us in the world's largest democracy is not to bring them in power during elections. If we are only so much concerned about the welfare of our generation and the welfare of the country in the upcoming decades, we need to do what is right.
If this has not been done in the past, then, there is always the first time.
The solution lays within ourselves which nobody but we can make do.
It is never too late to do the right thing.
Agreed that allegations do not make anyone a criminal, but does not it get too late before a verdict on the same is received, so why take a risk with the future of the country.

I think a big NO will satisfy the answer.
Actually its nothing but the ill fate of our nation that few donkeys i.e. corrupted politicians decide the future of the nation. The people who themselves are illiterate decides the future of lakhs and crores of literate people. This is a bitter truth.
According to me these convicted people should never be allowed to contest elections and their ticket should be cancelled for lifetime. I mean How one can expect that a person who himself is indulged in criminal activities is going to remove the crime from the nation or constituency?It is nothing but the fault lies also with the judgement of common people who select these candidates. I mean how they believe that a person who himself is a rapist, will build a rape free state!".
So that the best solution is to restrict them from participating in the elections, so that there is no chance of getting selected. Also there should be proper law to check whether a person is guilty or not to ensure that innocent people can't be proved guilty. The provision for special courts can do the work!
Thank you.

I think that people does not allowed for election, because if he would not prove himself then he did not take decision for protect others people. If they are realized their mistake and and he would take ticket for election and once again he will be selected by using its criminal background and he will again corrupt our nation property. So that from my point of view they would not give second chance.

No tainted politicians should not be allowed to contest in the election as it will not only lead to corruption but will also defame our country's reputation in front of the world and thus would effect our relations with foreign countries, as no country would like to conduct any kind of business with the country run by criminals.
But at the same time we should also perceive that whether the politician is really corrupt or he is merely a victim of dirty politics.
Thus a politician's past profile itself do not reflects his actual character because it may have been tampered by other dirty politicians, due to which an honest person is portrayed as a devil.
Hence based on our prevailing weak law and order we cannot restrict tainted candidates to contest in elections.
At last I think that the ultimate power lies in the hand of common man, and he should cast his vote based on his conscience and belief in the person he is voting for.
Thank you.

This is the most crucial thing to be thought of at this moment when India is surrounded by corrupt, unreliable, unworthy people who call themselves as leaders. Tainted ministers are like virus who slowly destroy the system with their venomous acts. They certainly should not be allowed to contest the elections. And it is responsibility of us to choose such person as our leader who work for country and welfare of people.

Hello everyone.
Well I think that the answer lies upon the definition of tainted people. If tainted means that he has been proved of his crime and has faced his punishment then, I don't think that he should be prevented from contesting elections. Because he has faced his punishment then as per law how is a good man. How ever if the tainted means that there are accusations on him and has not been proven then also we can't stop him to participate in elections because the accusations may be false.
So I don't think that we can stop him to contest in the elections. However if he is of criminal nature the the local people usually know about that. And they should prevent him to win the sheet in lok sabha.

Hi friends.
In my point of view people who call themselves as leaders no tainted politicians should not be allowed to contest in the election as it will not only lead to corruption but will also defame our country's reputation in front of the world and thus would effect our relations with foreign countries, as no country would like to conduct any kind of business with the country run by criminals.
Thanks.
