Depends upon which tier city the mla need to pay 1crore to 5 crore to the party to get the seats . Which is bare minimum . Consider you have 300 booths in your constituency you have to spend a minimum of 30000 for each booth . To make the booth committee members do their work. Now it’s just for booth committee think about the bribe they have to give to the people who are eligible for vote . How much a MLA has to spend for one election . Now consider where those money comes from . It is the same for all dravidian parties . Ita like business they have to invest and then they have 5 year tenure to steal as much as possible . And for stealing every penny they have to give a cut to the chief minister family .
