The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) co-convenor, Saurav Das, has expressed his support for senior advocate Kapil Sibal's proposal to impose a 10-year ban on politicians who defect from the party they were elected under. Sibal's proposal calls for a ban on any member of parliament or state legislature who wins on one party's symbol and later joins another party for financial gain or under duress.
Das hailed the suggestion, noting that the CJP had similarly demanded a 20-year ban in its initial set of demands. Das pointed out that the current Anti-Defection Law, introduced in 1985, is outdated and insufficient to curb political defections, such as the alleged bribery and toppling of governments by the ruling party. He urged the youth to bring about change in the political landscape.
