The BJP-led National Development Alliance (NDA) emerged victorious in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, with 293 MPs elected. The opposition Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) also performed better than what various exit polls had predicted, with its 232 MPs set to become a part of the incoming 18th Lok Sabha.

Members of Parliament play a crucial role as political representatives in a democracy, engaging in debates and discussing Bills on a range of policy matters. The Indian Constitution also ensures that the legislature accurately reflects the electorate it is representing, through the means of reservation of seats for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and the Other Backward Classes.
