Difference between MLA and MP
A Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) is a representative elected by the voters of an electoral district (constituency) to the Legislation of a State in the Indian system of government. MLAs belong to a particular state and attend the assembly of their respective state and discuss matters regarding that particular state only.
A MP is a member of parliament i.e a member of either of the two houses ,the Lok sabha or the Rajya sabha. Both the houses i.e the lok sabha and the rajya sabha is collectively known as the parliament of India and it is the supreme legislative body of the republic of India and deal with law making pan India.The members of Lok Sabha are directly elected by the Indian public voting in single member districts and the members of Rajya Sabha are elected by the members of the state legislative assemblies(MLA) by proportional representation. Each state has between seven and nine MLA for every Member of Parliament (MP) that it has in the Lok Sabha.
The Indian constitution clearly defines the distribution of powers between the Union and the States. The State Legislature has the power to make laws on all items in the state list, on which Parliament cannot legislate law such as police, prisons, irrigation, agriculture, local governments and public health. In such cass the MLAs discuss and vote for such bills. However, both Parliament and states assembly can make laws on some items such as education, protection of natural resources like forests, water source and protection of wild life. Similarly, both involve in the process of electing the President of India. Also some part of the constitution can be amended by the parliament with the approval of the states only. Thus Both MLAs and MPs create laws according to the powers granted to them on making legislature by the Constitution of India.
A minster can be a state minister in which case he has to be a MLA first or a minister can be a cabinet minister in which case he has to be selected in either of the houses of parliament.
Ministers of both the types are responsible for certain departments of the government and execute the laws enacted by either the state assembly or the parliament of India. Thus Cabinet is the supreme directing authority, the magnet of policy, which co-ordinates and controls the whole of the executive government of the Union and integrates and guides the work of Parliament.
