Several legislative efforts have been made to curb defections. The 52nd Constitution Amendment provided for disqualification of defectors other than in the case of a split in the party, involving a group of not less than one-third of its members. _______________________________. This too did not prove to be a deterrent, as has been evident in Arunachal Pradesh. True, defections engineered through unscrupulous means undermine democratic institutions and subvert the people’s mandate.
The reason adduced for the switchover is laughable: to have better relations with the BJP-led government at the Centre.
Ideally, the matter of dealing with defection should be left in the hands of the voters. Legal remedies to what is essentially a political issue will never work.
A later amendment disallowed splits, and provided only for merger in cases where at least two-thirds of the members of one party merged with another party.
When defection is made more difficult, the means adopted become even more inventive.
This must have seemed the easiest way to stay in power for those who had allied with the earlier government of Congress rebels.
Correct Answer is (c).If we carefully read the sentence preceding the blank, we can observe that it talks about the 52nd amendment of the Constitution provided for disqualification of defectors in the case of split in the party. The only option that expresses ideas in line with it is the option C in which the writer specifies a later amendment that disallowed splits. No other option, however, fits the blank appropriately. Option C is clearly the correct answer.
