The richest candidate so far, going by assets declared, is Lagadapati Rajagopal, the owner of power generation and infrastructure company Lanco, and the Congress
candidate from Vijayawada. He has shown assets worth
Rs 299 crore. In 2004, he had declared assets worth just

Rs 9.6 crore. In other words, during the five-year UPA rule, his assets went up 30 times or by almost 3000%.
And Rajagopal isn't the only politician whose wealth has grown. It's a general trend. There are many more who have bigger assets than the Rs 67 crore declared by D K Adikesavulu, the richest MP in the last election.
