Answer:
In
order to face the challenges in society, political parties need to be reformed.
(i) Anti-Defection Law Under the
Anti-Defection Law, MLAs and MPs can not change party after the election.
This was done as many elected candidates were indulging in defection in
order to become ministers or for cash rewards.
Now, according to this law if any MLA or MP changes parties,
he or she will lose the seat in Legislature. At the same time, this law has
made any dissent even more difficult. MPs and MLAs have to accept whatever the party
leaders decide.
(ii) Affidavit Now, it is mandatory for every candidate, who
contests elections to file an Affidavit giving details of his property and
criminal cases pending against him.
(iii) Steps taken by our Election Commission The Election
Commission passed an order making it necessary for political parties to hold
their organisational elections and file their income tax returns.
(iv) It should be made mandatory for the parties to give one-third
of their party tickets to women candidates, thus women can take part in the
decision-making bodies of the party.
