Q1. The recent defection of AAP MPs to BJP was considered constitutionally valid because:
A. It was approved by the Election Commission
B. It constituted a two-thirds merger
C. It was supported by the Speaker alone
D. It followed a public referendum
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Under the Tenth Schedule (anti-defection law), a defection is not penalised if at least two-thirds of members of a legislative party agree to merge with another party. In this case, seven out of ten MPs met this threshold. This shows how constitutional provisions allow group defections under certain conditions, balancing stability and political realignment. However, it also raises concerns about misuse and weakening of party discipline.
Q2. The Supreme Court’s direction in Bengal voter roll cases reflects:
A. Judicial activism
B. Electoral populism
C. Judicial restraint
D. Executive dominance
Correct Answer: C
