What do you mean by the term defection? What measures were adopted to prevent this practice?​

Answer 1

Answer:

politics, a defector is a person who gives up allegiance to one state in exchange for allegiance to another, changing sides in a way which is considered illegitimate by the first state. More broadly, it involves abandoning a person, cause, or doctrine to which one is bound by some tie, as of allegiance or duty.

Answer 2

Answer:

Defection’ in politics means moving of a person from one party to another party for some personal benefit. It means changing party allegiance from the party on which a person got elected to a different party. It happens when a legislature, after having been elected from a particular party leaves it and joins in other party. Measures adopted to prevent this practice: (i) The Constitution was amended to prevent elected MLAs and MPs from changing parties. This was done because many elected representatives were indulging in defection, in order to become ministers or for cash rewards. (ii) Now, the law says that if any MLA or MP changes parties, he or she will lose seat in the legislature. (iii) The new law has brought defection down and has made dissent even more difficult. Now MLAs and MPs have to accept whatever party leaders say.Read more on Sarthaks.com - https://www.sarthaks.com/316860/what-do-you-mean-by-the-term-defection-what-measures-were-adopted-to-prevent-this-practice
