Lok Sabha MP affidavit data

[Arun Ganesh]

Does anyone know if the data for the declared assets, criminal cases and educational qualification of sitting Lok Sabha MPs are available in a ready to use format?

Much of this information has been digitized by public filings by ADR and available as a PDF report[1]  but not as raw data.

There is a very useful API[2] that has this data for pre 2019 MPs at but not for the sitting MPs unfortunately.

I'm curious to see how these stats have changed over the past three elections.

I was interested in this data myself, so I got around to putting it in a CSV that can be browsed: https://flatgithub.com/Vonter/india-election-affidavits?filename=csv/Lok%20Sabha/Candidates.csv&stickyColumnName=Candidate

Raw data (with separate CSVs by election year/constituency) and scripts can be found on GitHub: https://github.com/Vonter/india-election-affidavits
