 "Crorepati Club: Delhi a clear winner with at least 52 MLAs")
When it comes to crorepati leaders winning the elections, Delhi seems to have taken the cake among the four states with at least 52 such MLAs in the 70-member strong assembly.
While absolute number of MLAs with assets running into crores of rupees may be higher for Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, the number of constituencies in these two states is also higher at 230 and 200, respectively. Chattisgarh has a 90-member assembly.
According to an analysis of winners announced today for the four state elections, nearly three-fourth of elected MLAs in Delhi have assets running into crores of rupees, as against about two-third concentration of such MLAs in Rajasthan and even less in Madhya Pradesh. The percentage of crorepati MLAs
in Chattishgarh is even lower.
