All of its members are directly elected by citizens of India on the basis of universal adult franchise, except two who are appointed by the President of India. Every citizen of India who is over 18 years of age, irrespective of gender, caste, religion or race, who is otherwise not disqualified, is eligible to vote for the lok sabha.Therefore as people are directly involved and a have a greater involvement here than other houses, its called house of ppl.     thumbs up if u think it is correct
