Solution : The correct answer is Changing party after winning the election.
The anti-defection law in India was passed in 1985, and it aims to curb political defections and bring stability to the elected government. Defection is a term used when a person who won the election changes his political party for personal or professional reasons. When a candidate wins the election as an independent candidate but later joins another party, this is also considered political defection.
