CAUSE
One question. One truth.
“Why is the anti-defection law important?”
The anti-defection law is important because it preserves political stability by preventing elected representatives from switching parties after elections, thereby maintaining the integrity of the electoral mandate and discouraging opportunistic defections that undermine governance.

CURRENT STATE
