Answer:

In any democracy, it is common to witness defection by legislators. This type of defection can seriously undermine the stability of the ruling government.
The anti-defection law in India has been made to punish individual Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLA)/Members of Parliament (MPs) for leaving one party to join another.
