Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR)

Episode 21 (Part 1): Publication of criminal cases against candidates selected by political parties along with reasons for such selection

About: ADR Speaks is a podcast series on issues related to electoral and political reforms. The episodes focus on the findings of ADR reports analysing background details of candidates, sources of political parties' income, election expenditure, Electoral Bonds etc. In the episodes, ADR breaks down the key findings of its reports for simple understanding & accessibility to the general public, enabling them to make an independent & informed choice.

On 13th February, 2020 the Supreme Court had directed political parties to list out reasons on their website including their social media platforms for nominating candidates with criminal background within 72 hours of the selection of such candidates. ADR’s analysis of the publication of criminal antecedents by political parties revealed major shortcomings in the implementation of the SC judgement. With this in view, ADR organised a webinar on "Publication of criminal cases against candidates selected by political parties along with reasons for such selection" on 10th June 2021. This podcast has been extracted from this webinar.
