- Aam Aadmi Party is set to join the elite club of national parties.
- Arvind Kejriwal launched the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in 2012.
- A national party needs to have two per cent of Lok Sabha seats in a minimum of three states. This means 11 seats.
- AAP has zero Lok Sabha MPs.
- The other condition is that the aspirant must have state party recognition in four states.
- But it has governments in Delhi and Punjab with huge mandates.
- In Goa, the party meets the six per cent votes/two seats requirement.
- There are only eight national parties recognised by the Election Commission of India as of now.
- They are BJP, Congress, National People’s Party, TMC, NCP, CPI, CPM, and BSP.
- Due to this status, AAP’s election symbol (broom) will remain unchanged across India.
- National parties get broadcast and telecast bands on Akashvani and Doordarshan during general elections.
- They get government land to build party headquarters.
- Recognised ‘state’ and ‘national’ parties need only one proposer to file nomination.
