There are roughly five MLAs in one MP's constituency. And one MP's constituency usually corresponds to a little more than one district -- one district plus parts of adjoining district.
The first thing an ambitious person will do is to get to know the MLAs, sarpanchs of his district so that he can understand the politics of his area and makes the right contacts. Whether he wants to contests from a party or as an independent, the most important thing is to get to know the right people in his area.
In BV Akhi and other people are behaving as if Jagya is the only MLA in Rajasthan.The way Akhi goes, MLA Saab, MLA Saab is rather funny.
Jaitser village was similarly treated as a district when a district is far, far bigger. And the headquarter of a district is always a town, not a village.
Cinematic licence I guess.
rohini i agree there r roughly 4-5 MLAs in one MP's constituency but it doesn't mean ppl don't know abt them. i'd seen villagers know more abt their MLAs.
ppl know MLAs either by their face or name & sumtimes they know abt their family also.its not uncommon but then its also a fact that all ppl don't know abt all MLAs.and AK mite'd heard of J but not seen.
@bold agree &thatswat AK is doing wid J.AK din't know & may b oder villagers mite'dn't known abt J as MLA but wen that pandit got arrested J was there bcoz cops do know J as MLA. and the villager who told AK abt J as MLA saw him b4 AK came there.
@bold blue AK & oders r behaving is not funny nor its like J is only MLA in raj. but jhalra must cum under jaitser constituency & AK saw J & got contact wid him as at that time only J whos MLA was present there. and AK needed sum1 of that post so they r behaving like this.
jaitser as distt. i know distt is bigger so they mite'd added many villages in jaitser. where BH is that must b called "sadar". yes distt HQs r in town not in village but wen Jaitser bcame distt it was still rural area.but now it has bcum a town.
my own state is predominantly rural & least urbanised state in India but still ppl r better living stds than rest of states which r considered as urbanised.its among one of the top 3 states. and wen my own distt was made distt (at that time i wasn't even born)it was rural area but now after 40-50yrs later its bcuming big town.
but yes i agree in shows & movies cinematic liberty is also taken.
