Explained | What is the Anti-defection Law?

The anti-defection law was passed in 1985 through the 52nd Amendment to the Constitution. The law that was contained in the 10th Schedule of the Constitution came into effect on March 1, 1985. It was formulated to bring stability to the Indian political system, which has a long history of political defections.
Even though the law has been able to curb the evil of defections to a great extent, the recent incidents in the Indian political scene underline the need for a review in order to tighten all the loopholes.

Wishing all the aspirants of UPSC Civil Services Prelims Good Luck!

One loophole in this law could be the partisan politics of the speaker. They often misuse their power for the disqualification of a member. We need to establish an independent tribunal to finalize the disqualification procedure.

At 1:26, it'saying 1/3rd members merging with another party but in writing it's showing 2/3rd member merging with with another party,

[@dxrk.73]

[@kiranks9855]

So many things that I do not know about politics and constitution. Many terms like defection ,amendment, etc.

[@karthikeyan-sx9uj]

Some confusion here for me... Upto the latest amendent of the law will it give immunity to the legislators who jump party's in one third of the numbers eg.. If the partyA has 90 legislators 30 from partyA jumped to partyB will they enjoy the immunity from the law in this case or will they face actions behalf of the law? Please clarify

Anti Defection is a boon or curse?

[@viruj4th]

May the government also make Anti Public-Defecation Law for our Indians. Perhaps, it exists already? Hence, make it strict Rule.

[@sujatasharma2391]

Jai Hind 🇮🇳

[@chinmoybiswas7930]

Kindly do proper research before posting videos.... Wrong information served.

[@ramprasadsj1455]

1:24 and 1:41 😐😐😐

[@ajaygu7630]

All in constitution papers. Not in action

[@akah77]

class 10th student here

[@shubhampathak3346]

Hindu be like,,, kuch bhi bana deta hu...kisi ko kya hi pata chalega... 1/3rd is called split and 2/3rd is called merger... 52nd amendment allowed both... I.e., either in case of split or merger,, anti defection wont apply.... 91st amendment act simply removed split provision... So it means,,, now only merger i.e, 2/3rd is allowed.

[@prakhart92]

Somewhere it is mentioned that it applies to rajya sabha, at some places it is not. So does it apply to rajya sabha too?

[@missruzivlog1420]

But this law is not implement in reality.

[@bubblewrap9615]
