Not much behind are BJP candidates Hema Malini from Mathura and Kanwar Singh Tanwar from Amroha who have declared assets worth Rs 178 crore each. The actress, however, has a liability of Rs 23 crore as well.

In the list of top 10 richest candidates, four are from BSP, two each from BJP and Congress, and one each from SP and RLD, the analysis says.

ADR has clarified that it could only analyse details of 1,259 candidate among total of 1268 from the state. The rest of the affidavits have not been analysed as their affidavits were either incomplete or badly scanned on the ECI's website at the time of making this report.

There are 365 candidate (approximately 29 per cent) who chose not to declare their Permanent Account Numbers (PAN) details, it said.
