Explanation:

The provision, that the total number of ministers, including the Prime Minister, in the Council of Ministers shall not exceed 15% of the total strength of the Lok Sabha, was added by the 91st Amendment Act. Before the amendment, parties used to score political points by appointing oversize cabinets, a practice that was unhealthy for democracy. Also, as per the amendment, a member of either house of Parliament belonging to any political party who is disqualified on the ground of defection shall also be disqualified to be appointed as a minister.
