PATNA: Bihar’s ruling JD(U) on Friday welcomed the Supreme Court ’s decision that candidates contesting elections will now have to declare the sources of their income along with those of their family members.“It is a big initiative taken by the apex court which will definitely help to clean up nation’s electoral system. The directive by a bench of Justice J Chelameshwar and Justice S Abdul Nazeer will bring transparency into the flow of wealth being used for elections,” party’s national secretary general and chief spokesperson K C Tyagi told TOI.Welcoming the SC’s decision, Tyagi called upon all political parties to encourage and support such directives to bring more probity into electoral politics.The existing law says a candidate is required to disclose the details of the assets and liabilities for themselves, spouse and three dependents in Form 26 while filing the nomination paper but not the source of the income.“The new SC order will include their sources of income too. The apex court’s move will also give wings to the idea of eradicating black money from the elections,” Tyagi said.
