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.
