The 91st Constitutional Amendment Act, 2003 removed the provision allowing ______ of members to split from a party without disqualification.
- one-half
- one-third
- two-thirds
- three-fourths
Answer: one-third
Original Tenth Schedule allowed 'split' if 1/3 of legislature party members defected. 91st Amendment (2003) deleted this provision to curb defections. Now, only 'merger' exception (2/3 rule) remains. Also added Article 75(1B)/164(1B): Defectors cannot be appointed ministers until re-elected or term ends. Strengthened anti-defection regime.
