The role and responsibilities of an MP

In a democratic country like India, the post of Member of Parliament i.e. MP is very important. He has many roles and responsibilities, whether from the ruling party or the opposition. It is the responsibility of the MP to design and monitor the program from making laws. However, they have no role in the implementation of programs. The MP represents citizens of his parliamentary constituency.

An MP also has the responsibility of 'power of purse', which means the power to approve and control the expenses of the government. This power is gained due to controlling budget and taxation. MPs play a role in the government's financial matters and use this power to ensure that the government's money is spent effectively and in the public interest.

What can MP do in his area?

Under the MP Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS) launched in 1993, every MP is given Rs 5 crore every year for development in his parliamentary constituency. The scheme is operated by the Ministry of Statistics and Program Implementation (MOSPI). Under MPLADS, MP fund is sent through the relevant implementation agencies in the district.

The MP may recommend the development project in his area under MPlads. This may include roads, schools, hospitals, drinking water facilities and other basic infrastructure projects. Apart from this, the MP raises public problems in Parliament and appeals to the government to solve them. At the same time, he can work to promote cultural and social activities in his field. Apart from this, it can help provide relief to the people of your area during natural disasters. In case of flood, drought, epidemic, relief materials, ration, medical assistance, relief camps can be demanded as well as demanding relief package from the government.
