Elections to the Rajya Sabha are indirect; members representing states are elected by elected members of legislative assemblies of the states in accordance with the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote, and those representing union territories are chosen in such manner as Parliament may by law prescribe.
The total elective membership of the Lok Sabha is distributed among States in such a way that the ratio between the number of seats allotted to each State and population of the State is, as far as practicable, the same for all States.
The Lok Sabha at present consists of 545 members; Of these, 530 members are directly elected from 25 States and 13 from seven Union territories while two are nominated by the President to represent the Anglo-Indian community.

The Lok Sabha Speaker came into the picture when he addressed an all-party meeting in the Central Hall of Parliament and suggested a Presidential reference to the Supreme Court on the powers of the highest court in the country to intervene in a situation like the one created by the political parties in Jharkhand.
The Lok Sabha Speaker’s point whether the court would have hauled up the pro-tem speaker and MLAs becomes somewhat rhetorical in view of the fact that the entire mess was created by political parties which was later cleaned up through the intervention of the Prime Minister.
