National Party Criteria: Conditions and Benefits
The national party is a registered political party in India, which participates in elections. It is a party that gets something like six percent of the all-out votes in the Lok Sabha election or assembly in four States and wins no less than 2 percent of seats in the Lok Sabha election. Parties recognized as such are given novel symbols which just the authority up-and-comers of that party can utilize. The parties that get these honors and a few other extraordinary offices are recognized by the election commission of India for this reason. For that reason, these parties are called recognized national parties.
