Why are MPs more powerful than the government?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
As far as power is concerned it is according to jurisdiction. In its own jurisdiction even peon is very powerful. Police constable under His jurisdiction challans vehicle of even VIPs. Kiran Bedi being an IPS challaned car of PM of India (now some will ask who is more powerful IAS or IPS) Then when you talk about IAS, it is not talking about post. She can be a collector and also on some not so important post. Every post gives her authority and in that jurisdiction she is the boss. She being a DM of district controls many other departments and her main job is to coordinate with others to make the work done. Similar is with MP. Some powers are given to her to do her duties. The MP is powerful in those matters.
As far as law and order of his district is concerned DM has more authority. But when it comes to raiding of Income Tax fraud culprits IRS posted there will have more authority. So government is about division of jurisdiction and cooperation.
I belong to India Forest Service, so I should give you answer related to that also. Mr. Ram Ratan Nala, IFS looks aftet Gir National Park in Gujarat. Which is spread over 1.5 lack hectare in 3 districts of Gujarat. He is the boss there.. which road to be built, where new structure or guest house will come… which official will be. Posted where… who to enter who not to. How to manage villages which are in that area. So it's all his jurisdiction.
Likewise MP has its own say, being an elected representative. He can ask government to transfer the concerned officer or he can pressurise him/her to do a certain thing.
