The nexus of politics and crime has always made the real purpose of politics irrelevant. In the institutions of decentralization of politics, mainly in the assembly elections, panchayat elections, municipal elections, candidates with increasing criminal image have made it clear that politics (struggle for power) was achieved by using democratic means for the welfare of its citizens. It is known that, now the increasing number of candidates and leaders with criminal image, even criminal image, use political power only for their useless interests. Leaders of any political party do not pay attention to develop great political values and principles of citizenship. They do not promote patriotism and nation-building commitment. Politics or the use of political power is nothing new. The ridiculous situation is that the process of increasing criminalization of politics in Bihar has led to the politicization of crime in place of criminalization of politics and has become a prominent feature of the politics culture of today's ruling class. Criminalization of politics is a very serious problem in Bihar, which has already reached dangerous levels. This evil of criminalization of politics attracts special attention of the people as the subject revolves around the vested interests of all party politicians because such people can never hope that politicians will take any initiative to rectify this evil. In this research paper, an attempt has been made to analyze the increasing dominance of criminals in Bihar politics and its remedial measures.
