What is the difference between national political parties and regional political parties ?
Answers
Election Commission has laid down the eligibility criteria for an entity to be recognised as a state political party. To get the recognition, a party has to bag at least 6% of the total votes given in that state during the general elections or the assembly elections. Moreover, the party should win at least two seats in the Legislative Assembly. Or, the political party has to grab at least 3% of the total seats in the state Legislative Assembly or get minimum three seats in the Assembly, whichever is more.
National Political Party
According to the Election Commission of India, a political party can graduate into a National party if it manages to get minimum 6% of the valid votes registered in any four or more states during the Lok Sabha elections or the assembly elections in the respective states.
On top of that, the party has to win at least four seats in the Lok Sabha from a single state or more than one state. If that doesn’t happen, it has to aim at getting at least 2% seats in the Lok Sabha (which means 11 out of the existing 543 seats). These 11 members should be elected from at least three different states.
