'Parliament should discuss if new anti-defection law needed': Congress' Manish Tewari after TMC, Shiv Sena (UBT) splits

Congress MP Manish Tewari advocates for a new anti-defection law. He believes the Lok Sabha composition no longer reflects the 2024 voter mandate. Recent party splits have weakened Indian democracy and opportunistic politics are prevalent. TMC and Shiv Sena (UBT) MPs have switched allegiance to the ruling NDA. Tewari stresses the need to address these developments during the upcoming Parliament session.
