Affidavit comparison

Declared net worth: BJP, Congress, TMC and DMK key figures

This page uses election-affidavit data from MyNeta / ADR candidate pages. Net worth here means declared assets minus declared liabilities from the affidavit used for that leader. The top graph now compares selected BJP, Congress, TMC, and DMK figures over time, while the detailed table below remains focused on the BJP and Congress leaders already documented on this page.

Summed declared net worth of selected major figures since 2000

This top graph now uses coloured point-lines for four party groupings rather than a one-shot comparison. Each plotted year uses the latest verified affidavit-based net worth available up to that year for the selected BJP, Congress, TMC, and DMK figures shown below. The first selected affidavits available in this series begin in 2004.[22][23][25][26][24]

Latest plotted point: 2024Congress is highest at Rs 169.36 croreDMK follows at Rs 123.43 crore; BJP at Rs 105.39 crore; TMC at Rs 14.11 crore.[24]

  24. Method used for the over-time graph: for each plotted year, I summed the latest verified affidavit-based net worth then available for each selected leader at or before that year. This creates a sourced step-style time series rather than an invented annual interpolation. Where a leader filed more than one affidavit in the same year, I used the latest filing that aligns with the comparison notes shown under the graph. Arithmetic checks were done locally from the affidavit figures.
