opinion/op-ed/preserving- democracy-vigilant-opposition- necessary-not-just-vibrant- democracy-survival-india/ article65650973.ece - In the intro, mention the mass defections taking place despite the anti-defection law.
- In the body, mention the important functions of Opposition in maintaining the checks and balances, scrutiny of the policies formulated by the government, review of the actions of the government, raising the demands of the public and questioning the government on various issues. In the next part, mention the failure of the anti-defection law to stop the defection which is used by the ruling party to weaken the opposition.
- Conclude by mentioning that it is for the Opposition to make itself credible and strong. It must feel the pulse of the people. Unless it makes itself respectable, it cannot demand any respect. This is the biggest challenge facing the nation today.

Hello
Decent attempt.
Introduction is fine.
Role of opposition is also well-written.
In next part, mention challenges holistically giving the issue of defection a priority.. Loopholes mentioned are okay(instead of mass defections you can use the term split in the party as mergers are allowed under anti-defection provisions), but add what happens as result.. For example, horse-trading, unstable government etc
Next you can mention 1-2 lines on other challenges such as already low numerical strength, disruption in functioning of the house, absence of members from the house etc
Conclusion is fine.
Keep practicing. 🙂
