If elected to power, he would urge the Supreme Court to appoint special court to try cases of MLAs and MPs against whom criminal cases are pending and deliver a verdict a within a year.

Those convicted will lose their seats and the vacancies can be filled by those without criminal charges, he said.

"Everybody says this but nobody does it. But I have decided to do so. But if there is a better way I will look into it. I do not want that cases against politicians be dragged for long," he said adding he wanted the credibility of institutions be enhanced.

However, he made it clear that he would not work vindictively but utilise his time and energy for doing good things for public at large.
