Party switching is a common phenomenon in India. Representation of the considerable number of such switched politicians in the different parliamentary systems of India is the outcome of the number of such switched politicians got ticket to contest in an election. Cost-benefit, ideology, etc., are some are the driving factors of party switching, but in the case of India, it has been observed that the majority switched party because of denial of the party ticket.
