Question

presentation on lok sabha elections​

Answer 1

Lok Sabha is composed of representatives of the people chosen by direct election on the basis of the adult suffrage. The maximum strength of the House envisaged by the Constitution is 552, which is made up by election of upto 530 members to represent the States, upto 20 members to represent the Union Territories and not more than two members of the Anglo-Indian Community to be nominated by the Hon'ble President, if,  in his/her opinion, that community is not adequately represented in the House. The total elective membership is distributed among the States in such a way that the ratio between the number of seats allotted to each State and the population of the State is, so far as practicable, the same for all States.

Answer 2

Answer:

Lok Sabha, (Hindi: “House of the People”) the lower chamber of India’s bicameral parliament. Under the constitution of 1950, its members are directly elected for a term of five years by territorial constituencies in the states. In the early 21st century the Lok Sabha had 543 elected members; 13 of these represented the union territories. Two additional members were appointed by the president to represent the Anglo-Indian community.

The president of India, who is elected for a five-year term by an electoral college consisting of all elected members of parliament and of the state legislatures, is more a constitutional sovereign than a chief executive. The real power resides in the prime minister, who heads the Council of Ministers—ministers who are members of the cabinet and other ministers of state and deputy ministers. The council is responsible to the Lok Sabha. The upper chamber of parliament is the Rajya Sabha (“Council of States”).
