Explanation:
The Election Commission of India grants recognition of national or state party to certain political parties based on their poll performance. The number of recognised parties keep on changing on the basis of their performance in General elections.
This recognition gives them privileges like allocation of party symbols, provision of time for political broadcasts on the state owned television and radio stations and access to electoral rolls. Every national party is allotted a symbol exclusively reserved for its use throughout the country. Similarly, every state party is allotted a symbol exclusively reserved for its use in the state or states in which it is recognised. Unrecognised parties can select a symbol from remaining list of free symbols.

It secures at least 6% of the valid votes polled in any four or more states, at a general election to the Lok Sabha or, to the State Legislative Assembly and in addition, it wins at least four seats in the Lok Sabha from any State or States.
It wins at least 2% seats in the Lok Sabha and these members are elected from at least three different States.
