What do we mean by recignised political party |
|
Answer» \tNational parties are some countrywide parties and almost follow similar policies and programmes at the national level.\tEvery party in the country has to register with the Election Commission. The Commission offers some special facilities to the large and established parties. These parties are given a unique symbol—only the official candidates of that party can use that election symbol.\tParties that get this privilege and some other special facilities are ‘recognised’ by the Election Commission for this purpose. That is why these parties are called ‘Recognised Political Parties’.\tThe Election Commission has laid down detailed criteria of the proportion of votes and seats that a party must get in order to be a recognised party. A registered party is recognised as a National Party only if it fulfils any one of the following three conditions: The party wins 2% of seats in the Lok Sabha (as of 2014, 11 seats) from at least 3 different States. ... A party gets recognition as State Party in four or more States. |
