If an individual MP or MLA is concerned, he will lose his membership from the house for anti defection law. Anti defection law was passed to prohibit ayaram gayaram tendencies of members. Though some are critical of this law stating that the voters vote for individuals in the election and not parties and hence no anti defection law should be there.
