good day, i have a property set in my model class as shown

public class Category
    {
        public string statename { get; set; }
    }

i got a variable from my view using ajax as shown below,

<script language="javascript">
                            function getlgass() {

                                var staname = $('#mylist option:selected').text();//this is a htmlhelper dropdownlist. i got the selected text from this list and saved it in that variable

                                $.ajax({
                                    url:'/Ministry/sendProp',
                                    type:'POST',
                                    data: JSON.stringify(staname),
                                    contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
                                    success: function (data) { alert(data.success); },
                                    error: function(){alert("Error")}
                                });// i'm posting it to my controller function using ajax
                                
                                $.getJSON('@Url.Action("getLGA","Ministry")', function (costs) {
                                var $sel = $("#schLga");
                                $sel.empty();
                                $.each(costs, function (index, element) {
                                    $("<option/>").text(element).appendTo($sel);
                                });
                                });
                            }

                            alert("something changed");
                        </script>

i need to pass that variable to the property in my model so that i can use it in the function getLGA to perform a server request
my controller function are as shown

[HttpPost]
        public ActionResult sendProp()
        {
           // i think i'm supposed to attach the value to my model property here, but i don't know how.
            return Json(new { success = true });
        }

        [AllowCrossSiteJson]
        public ActionResult getLGA()
        {
            try
            {
                Category c = new Category();

                getMethods.getState(c);
                
                char[] chars = { ',' };

                int statepos = c.Name.IndexOf(c.statename);//i need that value here
                string stateindex = c.ID.ElementAt(statepos).ToString();

                testStealthServ.countries csd = new testStealthServ.countries();
                List<string> sth = csd.getlocal(stateindex).ToList<string>();
                foreach (var v in sth)
                {
                    string[] splits = v.Split(chars);

                    c.lgaName.Add(splits.ElementAt(0));
                    c.lgaID.Add(splits.ElementAt(1));
                }

                return Json(c.lgaName, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw ex;
            }
        }

Thanks for your assistance.
