NEW DELHI:
Delhi also elected fewer MLAs with criminal cases, the analysis showed.
A report by non-profit organisation Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) and Delhi Election Watch has revealed that the average assets of the 22 MLAs who have been re-elected has increased from ₹7.04 crore in 2020 to ₹8.83 crore in 2025—reflecting a 25% rise in wealth.
In addition, the newly elected MLAs have average assets of ₹22.04 crore per candidate. This marks a significant rise from the 2020 assembly, where the average assets per MLA were ₹14.29 crore. 31 of the winning candidates—44%—have assets exceeding ₹10 crore, while nine MLAs (13%) have assets of ₹5-10 crore.
