Answer:
Sujatha is an M.L.A
a'
We pronounce M as em, which makes the pronunciation like a vowel sound, so there has to be an ‘an’ preceding it.
Similar in case of ‘I would take an hour to complete the task’. Here the H is silent and the pronounciation of a vowel sound.

This is because "MLA" starts with a vowel sound,
When a word starts with, for example " money," the sound comes as "monee," so there is no vowel sound. In case of abbreviations like MLA, "m" is pronounced as "em": hence the vowel sound and hence article "an" is used.

It is not the first letter (vowel or consonant), per se, that decides the preceding article; but how the letter sounds.
In the posed example, 'M' is pronounced as 'em', a vowel sound.
A MLA
“An”is used before an indefinite noun whose initial sound is a vowel… The word as a whole is considered…so M LA these are 3 different alphabets, hence the sound of individual alphabet shouldn't be assumed
