Explanation:

This is a lateral explanation. No. of MPs in Sixteenth Lok Sabha is 545. No. of male MPs is 479 and No. of woman MPs is only 66. Such a low participation of female MPs is what necessitated the Women’s Reservation Bill in the Parliament, which vouched for 33% reservation. Oldest MP is Shri Lal Krishna Advani, Age – 87. Youngest MP is Shri Dushyant Chautala, Age-27.
