Similarly only those belonging to the Scheduled Tribes can contest an election from a constituencyreserved for ST. Currently, in the Lok Sabha, 84 seats are reserved for the Scheduled Castes and 47for the Scheduled Tribes.

It is a measure to include representation for all classes in the legislature.
