The Anti-Defection Law was passed in 1985 with an aim to curb political defections. The law disqualifies legislators for violating the will of their political party. In the 37 years the law has been in place, while individual defections may have reduced, en masse defections continue. The presence of the Anti-Defection Law has also undermined democracy by inhibiting legislators from exercising their choice and ability to function independently, and restricted decision making in legislatures to a few who control political parties.
