Explanation:
HEY MATE ..
Qualifications to Become an MP:
➞As per article 84 of the constitution, a person is qualified to be a member of parliament provided he:
➞is a citizen of India
➞has completed 30 years of age in case of Rajya Sabha and 25 years in case of Lok Sabha.
➞possesses such other qualifications as may be prescribed in that behalf by or under any law made by Parliament.
➞The third condition above led the parliament to include other qualifications for MPs in the Representation of People Act (1951).
These qualifications are as follows:
➞Only an elector can be elected. Thus, the candidate must be registered as a voter in a parliamentary constituency and must be eligible to vote.
➞ If due to any reason the person loses eligibility to vote, he would lose eligibility to contest also. For example if a person is jailed or in lawful detention at the time of elections, he shall not be eligible for voting.
➞ However, if a person is in preventive custody, he can vote. These define if a person is able to contest for election of MP or not.
➞It is not necessary that a person should be registered as a voter in the same constituency. This is applicable for both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
➞A person from reserved category only can contest election if the Lok Sabha seat is reserved for these categories. However, an SC/ST person can contest election on an unreserved seat also.
