Truth about AAP Candidates of Madhya Pradesh ( M.P)

Now lets Talk about my own state #Madhya_Pradesh

So, here is an article from TOI, penned by Press Trust of India (PTI), and syndicated by multiple news sites.

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/lok-sabha-elections-2014/news/40-of-AAP-candidates-in-Madhya-Pradesh-have-criminal-records-30-are-billionaires/articleshow/33511737.cms

Let's dig deeper:
---------------------------------------
What was written and highlighted:
"40% of AAP candidates in Madhya Pradesh have criminal records, 30% are billionaires"
---------------------------------------
> What was not written:
1. Madhya Pradesh has 29 Lok Sabha seats. The figures cited by PTI are for 10 seats. Yes, 10 seats. 10 < 29.
2. 4 AAP candidates on these 10 seats face criminal charges. Yeah that is how you get to 40%
3. The cases are related to protesting against injustice.
a. Rachna Dhingra - Univ. of Michigan alumnus; ex-Accenture Consulting; fighting for the victims of Bhopal gas leak tragedy since 2002
b. Atul Mishra - Lawyer; anti-corruption activist
c. Dr. Prashant Tripathi - Super specialist dentist; anti-tobacco activist
d. Santosh Bharti - Anti-corruption and forest rights activist
---------------------------------------
> What was written but not highlighted:
1. Strange as it may seem, 30 per cent of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidates for the second phase of Lok Sabha polls in Madhya Pradesh are billionaires, while 40 per cent have "criminal records against" them.
2. Four out of ten of Congress and BSP nominees have criminal records against them [40%, 40%]
3. "Only" three out of 10 BJP candidates have criminal "cases filed" against them [30%]
4. All the 10 Congress candidates are billionaires, while eight out of 10 BJP nominees, four out of 10 BSP nominees and three out of six Samajwadi Party nominees are billionaires. [100%, 80%, 40%, 50%]
---------------------------------------
> Where PTI messed up:
Somone please tell PTI that 1 crore is not equal to 1 billion. The former has 7 zeros, the latter has 9 zeros.
---------------------------------------

~Finally they 'found' something against AAP
~A day before elections
~And they misrepresented
~They were so excited that they forgot their zeros in all the hurry
~AAP: "records" & BJP: "cases filed" : Kyun bhai?
~"Only" three out of 10 BJP candidates: Kyun bhai?

PS: Can any of the BJP folks dig out the cases against your party's candidates? Tiring job!
