Which of the following is not the essential condition for a political party to be recognized as a national party ?
Answer: D
The statement that is not a condition is recognition as a State Party in at least two States.
Under the Election Symbols (Reservation and Allotment) Order, 1968, a party is recognised as a national party if it meets any one of three tests: it polls at least six percent of the valid votes in four or more States in a Lok Sabha or Assembly election and also wins at least four Lok Sabha seats; or it wins at least two percent of the Lok Sabha seats from at least three States; or it is recognised as a State party in four States.
The other options are parts of these tests: six percent in four States and four elected members together form the first, and two percent of seats from three States is the second. 'At least two States' falls short of the four the rule requires.
