Maha report card: BJP fares better on graft; Cong MLA tops performance chart

August 03, 2016 00:05

All five Congress MLAs from Mumbai elected in the last Assembly polls have found place in the top 10 legislators who were ranked on the basis of their performance on various parameters by an NGO.

The ranking of MLAs from Mumbai, topped by a Congress legislator, has been prepared by the NGO Praja. The metropolis has 36 assembly seats, of which Congress won five in 2014.

In a significant finding, the NGO said people see the current BJP-led Government as less corrupt than administrations in the past.

The report card reflects the MLAs' performance on the basis of their attendance, questions asked in assembly, using area development funds, people's perception about their image in terms of corruption, accessibility and criminal record, among other parameters, said the NGO, which conducts data driven research on elected representatives.

Of the 36 Mumbai MLAs, Praja evaluated 31 of them and the Congress' Amin Patel came at the top. Sunil Prabhu (Shiv Sena) and Varsha Gaikwad occupied the second and third spots, respectively. Only two BJP MLAs featured in the top 10.
