The Anti-Defection Law was introduced through which Constitutional Amendment?
52nd Amendment
The Anti-Defection Law was introduced by the 52nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1985, which added the Tenth Schedule to the Constitution to prevent elected members from switching parties for personal gain.
The 73rd Amendment relates to Panchayati Raj, the 44th Amendment (1978) made changes such as removing the right to property as a fundamental right, and the 61st Amendment lowered the voting age from 21 to 18; none of these introduced the anti-defection provisions.
Hence, the Anti-Defection Law was introduced through the 52nd Amendment.
