Question

How many seats are reserved for the scheduled caste in Lok Sabha

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

There are few states which donot have seats reserved for SC/ST candidates. The number of seats alloted for reservation are based on the proportion of population belonging to SC/ST communities. For example, Himachal has about 25% of SC population and has total 4 seats in Lok Sabha. So, 1 seat is reserved for SC.

But there are exceptions, Arunachal Pradesh has over 68% of ST population. But all 2 seats are open for any candidate to contest.
