In Pakistan, the term Changa Manga Politics is used for

A. A. Kickback
B. B. Horse-trading
C. C. Bribery
D. D. None of these
Correct Answer: B. B. Horse-trading

In Pakistan's political landscape, the term Changa Manga Politics specifically refers to horse-trading. This phrase originated from an incident in 1989 when members of the provincial assembly were allegedly sequestered at the Changa Manga forest resort near Lahore to prevent them from switching loyalties or being influenced by opposing political parties during a no-confidence motion. Horse-trading in politics involves the buying and selling of votes or political support, often through inducements, defections, or switching party affiliations, particularly during crucial votes or government formation. While kickbacks and bribery (options A and C) are forms of corruption that might be involved in horse-trading, "Changa Manga Politics" is a direct idiom for the broader practice of horse-trading, which encompasses efforts to secure or manipulate political allegiances, making it the most accurate description.
