Political Parties
Explain the three steps taken by the different authorities to reform political parties and their leaders in India.
The steps for reformations:
(i) The constitution was amended to prevent elected MLA and MP from changing parties, by bringing anti-defection law.
(ii) The Supreme Court had passed an order to reduce the influence of money and criminal. It is now mandatory for candidates to submit a record of criminal activities and the amount of property they own.
(iii) The Election Commission passed an order making it necessary for political parties to hold their organisational elections and file their income tax returns.
