Polity EP 53 | Anti Defection Law | Constitution | UPSC podcast | laxmikant | Political Dynamics

Welcome to THE IAS COMPANION.

Today, we'll delve into Anti-Defection Law, introduced by the 52nd and 91st Amendment Acts to curb political defections in India. The 52nd Amendment Act (1985) established disqualification criteria, adjudicated by the House's presiding officer, aiming for stability but facing criticism for curtailed dissent. The 91st Amendment Act (2003) strengthened these laws by limiting ministerial posts and removing exemptions for party splits. While aiming to uphold party discipline, these laws remain subject to ongoing scrutiny. Understanding Anti-Defection Laws is essential for grasping India's parliamentary democracy. #UPSC #IASprep #civilserviceexam #IASexamination #IASaspirants #UPSCjourney #IASexam #civilservice #IASgoals #UPSC2024 #IAS2024 #civilservant #IAScoaching #aUPSCmotivation #IASmotivation #UPSCpreparation #IASpreparation #UPSCguide #IASguide #UPSCtips #IAStips #UPSCbooks #IASbooks #UPSCexamstrategy #IASexamstrategy #UPSCmentorship #IASmentorship #UPSCcommunity #IAScommunity #UPSCpreparation #IASpreparation #UPSCguide #IASguide #UPSCtips #IAStips #UPSCbooks #IASbooks #UPSCexamstrategy #IASexamstrategy #UPSCmentorship #IASmentorship #UPSCcommunity #IAScommunity
