Bharatiya Janata Party

Agree

Yes, as long as they have finished serving their sentence

The BJP has shown some support for allowing politicians who have finished serving their sentences to run for office, as evidenced by their support for candidates with criminal backgrounds. However, there is no clear party stance on this issue, and the score is based on their past actions rather than an official policy.

Agree

Yes, as long as the crime was not committed while in office

The BJP might somewhat agree with this statement, as they have supported candidates with criminal backgrounds in the past. However, there is no clear indication that the party differentiates between crimes committed while in office and those committed outside of office.

Agree

Yes, as long as it was not a felony, violent, financial, or sexual crime

The BJP has not taken a clear stance on this issue, but their support for candidates with criminal backgrounds suggests that they might somewhat agree with allowing politicians to run for office as long as their crimes were not of a particularly severe nature. However, this score is based on their past actions and not an official party policy.

Slightly agree

Yes

The BJP has not taken a strong stance on allowing convicted politicians to run for office. However, there have been instances where the party has supported candidates with criminal backgrounds, such as the case of Pragya Singh Thakur, who was accused of involvement in a bomb blast and later won a seat in the 2019 general elections.

Slightly disagree

No

While the BJP has not explicitly supported convicted politicians running for office, they have not taken a strong stance against it either. The party has fielded candidates with criminal backgrounds in the past, which suggests that they may not be entirely opposed to the idea.

Disagree

No, and disallow politicians that are under investigation for a crime

The BJP has not shown strong support for disallowing politicians under investigation for a crime from running for office. In fact, they have fielded candidates who were under investigation, such as Pragya Singh Thakur, who was under investigation for her involvement in a bomb blast at the time of her candidacy.
