Conditions to Recognise as a Political Party in India:
A political party is recognised as a 'National Party' if it is treated as a recognised political party in four or more States. This means it has a significant presence and influence across multiple states in India, ensuring it meets the criteria for a national-level political entity. Hence, Statement A is correct.
If a political party is recognised in less than four States, it is termed a 'State Party' in those specific states. This indicates that the party has a substantial influence and following within those states but not enough to be considered a national entity. Hence, Statement B is correct.
National Parties also enjoy certain privileges such as needing only one proposer for filing the nomination and are entitled to two sets of electoral rolls free of cost. This is to facilitate their participation in the electoral process and ensure they have the necessary resources to compete effectively. Hence, Statement C is correct.
