A maximum of 17 seats are reserved in this category in Uttar Pradesh, followed by 10 in West Bengal, seven in Tamil Nadu, and six in Bihar. BJP had won 46 seats and Congress had won six seats. Apart from this, TMC had won five seats, DMK and YSRCP had won four seats each.

In 2019, BJP also performed well on 47 Lok Sabha seats reserved for Scheduled Tribes. BJP had hoisted its flag on 31 seats. Congress could win only four seats. Biju Janata Dal had captured two seats. Independents had won two seats.
