Q. Which of the following is NOT a ground for disqualification under the Tenth Schedule?

[A] Voting against the party whip in a vote of confidence or no-confidence motion.

[B] Resigning from the party without providing a written explanation to the Speaker.

[C] Joining another political party while remaining a member of the legislature.

[D] Abstaining from voting on a party whip without providing a valid reason.

Answer: B

Notes:

Explanation – Resigning from the party without providing a written explanation to the Speaker is not a specific ground for disqualification under the Tenth Schedule of the Indian Constitution. While resigning from the party may lead to a member losing the benefits and privileges associated with the party, it, in itself, is not a ground for automatic disqualification.
