The anti-defection law disqualifies an elected member who defects (changes party) after the election, to curb horse-trading and instability.
Which of the following is NOT a function performed by political parties?
Conducting elections impartially is the job of the Election Commission, not of political parties. Parties contest elections, form governments, and shape opinion.
Assertion (A): The anti-defection law has reduced legislators changing parties for personal gain. Reason (R): The law has also made it harder for legislators to express dissent against their own party leadership. Choose the correct option.
