Lok Sabha MPs who had not submitted the details by that date included Union Ministers Sushma Swaraj, Uma Bharti, Nitin Gadkari, and SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav.
According to the RTI reply, the members included BJP (209), Congress (31), TMC (27), BJD (18), Shiv Sena (15), TDP (14), AIADMK (9) and TRS (8). Seven members were from YSR Congress, six from Lok Janshakti Party and four each from NCP, CPI (M) and SP, three each from Akali Dal, RJD, and AAP, and two each from JD(U) and Apna Dal among others.
Action against the members not submitting their asset details are taken under the Assets and Liability Declaration Rules 2004, Provisions 5 and 6, and the Representation of the People Act 1951, Section 75 (A).
