Courtesy Sachin, an extract from an email sent by Election Watch:

National Election Watch (NEW) has looked into the list of candidates declared by BJP and SP and matched them with the affidavit records that NEW has collected since candidates started declaring their criminal records in the affidavits during elections. INC has not yet come with its list…

The initial information shows that BJP has 8 candidates with criminal background and SP has 6 such candidates.
