Question 5 of 5
5. Question
Which of the following schedules of the constitution gives a clear constitutional recognition to the existence of the system of “political parties” in India?

Since the anti-defection provisions clearly mention the existence of political parties (and members being disqualified on leaving its membership), the Tenth schedule recognizes the system of political parties.
