How does the form of oath or affirmation differ between a candidate for election and a member of the Legislature of a State?
The form of oath or affirmation differs between a candidate for election and a member of the Legislature of a State in terms of the commitments made. A candidate for election swears to bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of India as by law established, upholding the sovereignty and integrity of India. In contrast, a member of the Legislature makes a broader commitment, also vowing to faithfully discharge their duty upon entering office.
