Naidu moots change in anti-defection law; Curb 'menace' of turncoat politics

"It allows wholesale defection, but not retail defection. If you want to leave a party, leave and resign from the post. If you want to get re-elected, it is ok. But during that period, you should not be offered any post. This has to be followed by all.
