Of the 38 members of Parliament who declared farming as their profession in the 17th Lok Sabha, 26 belong to the Bharatiya Janta Party. The data also shows that only 7% of the MPs in the current Lok Sabha have identified farming as their profession, which is much lower than the previous two terms of the Lok Sabha between 2009 and 2019. This is in sharp contrast to the 15th Lok Sabha between 2009 and 2014 when 27% of the MPs claimed that they were farmers. Interestingly, in the 16th Lok Sabha between 2014 and 2019, 27% of the MPs declared agriculture as their primary occupation, which turned out to be the highest among all the categories. This was followed by political and social work at 24%, while business stood at 20%.
