Prevratu

Prevratu is a term used in the context of the Indian subcontinent, particularly in the states of Maharashtra and Gujarat, to refer to the act of switching or changing one's political allegiance or party affiliation. This phenomenon is often observed during elections, where voters may switch their support from one political party to another based on various factors such as promises made by the parties, the performance of the incumbent government, or personal preferences.

Prevratu is a significant aspect of Indian politics, as it can influence the outcome of elections and the formation of governments. It is also a subject of debate among political analysts and scholars, who discuss its implications for democratic processes and the stability of political systems.

The term "prevratu" is derived from the Marathi language, where "prevrat" means "to turn" or "to switch." It is used interchangeably with other terms such as "vote switching" or "party hopping" in English.

Prevratu is not limited to elections; it can also occur in other political contexts, such as when individuals change their support for a particular cause or issue. However, in the context of Indian politics, the term is most commonly associated with the switching of political allegiance during elections.
