Explanation:

The amending act made the following provisions to limit the size of Council of Ministers, to debar defectors from holding public offices, and to strengthen the anti- defection law:

The total number of ministers, including the Prime Minister, in the Central Council of Ministers shall not exceed 15% of the total strength of the Lok Sabha (Article 75(1A)).
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 (Article 75(1B)).
The total number of ministers, including the Chief Minister, in the Council of Ministers in a state shall not exceed 15% of the total strength of the legislative Assembly of that state.
He shall also be disqualified to hold any remunerative political post. The expression “remunerative political post” means
any office under the central government or a state government where the salary or remuneration for such office is paid out of the public revenue of the concerned government; or

any office under a body, whether incorporated or not, which is wholly or partially owned by the central government or a state government and the salary or remuneration for such office is paid by such body, except where such salary or remuneration paid is compensatory in nature (Article 361- B).
