Worst MPs of the outgoing Lok Sabha

Our parliament is made up of 543+ MPs who directly represent us and influence laws that rule our lives. Yet, during Lok Sabha elections, we stay obsessed with national political leaders like Rahul Gandhi and Narendra Modi. The reality is that there is no single political leader who can magically transform the country. If we keep electing MPs and MLAs who are incompetent and corrupt, the system will stay broken. So before you vote for your favourite party or leader, do consider who (the specific MP)  you are sending to the Lok Sabha. 

Here is a list of the worst of the worst of the outgoing Lok Sabha.
