Efforts made by the legal organizations to reform political parties in India:
(i) To check defection, the Constitution was amended to prevent elected MLA's and MPS's from changing parties.
(ii) The Supreme Court passed an order to reduce the influence of money and criminal, by making it mandatory to produce an affidavit giving details of the property and criminal cases pending.
(iii) The Election Commission passed an order making it necessary for political parties to hold their organizational election and file their income tax returns.
