Lok Sabha: As India heads into elections to vote candidates to power in the Parliament where the people’s representatives are supposed to participate in the proceedings of the House and raise the electorate’s issues, let’s take a look at the MPs who did not miss even a single day of the Parliament in the entire five years of the 17th Lok Sabha which comes to its closure on June 16 this year.
