Former Maharashtra minister and Independent MLA Bachchu Kadu on Thursday said the anti-defection law should be scrapped as it prohibits legislators from opposing parties in case “anti-people” decisions are taken by them.

The MLA from the Achalpur constituency in the Vidarbha region has backed Chief Minister Eknath Shinde since his rebellion against the Shiv Sena leadership in June which subsequently brought down the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government.
