In every state of India there is a legislative assembly. The division of every state is into different areas which are called constituencies.

Complete answer:
The division of every state in India is on the basis of different constituencies that are based on the population of that state.

In order to become MLA, the candidate is required to secure maximum votes in their respective constituency. The political party whose MLA secures the maximum number of constituencies in the particular state is considered to be in majority.
