Political Parties in India

India has a multi-party system, where political parties are classified as national, state or regional level parties. The status of party is accorded by the Election Commission of India, and the same is reviewed occasionally. All parties are registered with the Election Commission.

A special and unique election symbol is given to every registered party by the Election Commission.

 

 

What is Political Party?

A political party is a group of people who share similar political views, come together to contest elections and try to hold power in the government. The members of the political parties agree on some policies and programmes for the society with a view to promoting the collective good.

Political parties that wish to contest local, state or national elections are required to be registered with the Election Commission of India (EC). The number/status of national, state and regional parties increases or decreases on the basis of their performance in the elections.

 

 

Criterion for Recognition

The Election Commission has laid down certain criteria for a party to be recognised as national or state level parties.

National Party
A party has to live up to at least one of the following qualifications to be recognised as a national party:

  • It has to win a minimum of two per cent of the seats in the Lok Sabha from at least three different states.
  • In General Elections, the party must manage to win six per cent of the votes and win at least four Lok Sabha seats as well.
  • The party is recognised as a 'state level party' in four or more states.

State Party
A party has to live up to at least one of the following qualifications to be acknowledged as a state party.

  • The party has to win at least three seats or three per cent of the seats in the state legislative Assembly.
  • It has to win minimum one seat in the Lok Sabha for every 25 seats or any fraction allotted to that concerned state.
  • In a particular election, the party has to bag at least six per cent of the total votes, and also win one Lok Sabha and two Assembly seats.
  • The status of a state party can still be bestowed upon an entity even if it fails to win any seats in the Lok Sabha or the Assembly, if it manages to win at least eight per cent of the total votes cast in the entire state.

 

 

National Parties in India

Despite the large number of political parties operating in India, very few are able to make their presence felt at the national level except when it comes to alliances. The natural reason for this is that it takes a long time for any party to evolve from its regional moorings and have its ideology accepted by a large enough segment of the population. The table below lists political parties that boast of a pan-India presence. These have been listed in alphabetical order, and not necessarily in the order of their influence.

State Parties in India

Earthquake | Why earthquake happens | Why are earthquakes so hard to predict? | TCS - The CBSE Solver

By
  Early Story:- In 132 CE, Chinese polymath Zhang Heng presented the Han court with his latest invention. This large vase, he claimed, could tell them whenever an earthquake occurred in their kingdom– including the direction they should send aid. The court was somewhat skeptical, especially when the device triggered on a seemingly quiet afternoon. But when messengers came for help days later, their doubts turned to gratitude. Today, we no longer rely on pots to identify seismic events, but earthquakes still offer a unique challenge to those trying to track them. So why are earthquakes so hard to anticipate, and how could we get better at predicting them?   Earth’s structure: To answer that, we need to understand some theories behind how earthquakes occur. Earth’s crust is made from several vast, jagged slabs of rock called tectonic plates , each riding on a hot, partially molten layer of Earth’s mantle . This causes the plates to spread very slowly, at anywhere from 1 to 20 c

Fats | Olive oil is good for you, and pancake mix is not. Why is that? | Which fat is good by CBSESolver | TCS

By
Olive oil is 100% fat; there's nothing else in it. Pancake mix, on the other hand, is only about 11% fat. And, yet,  olive oil  is good for you, and pancake mix is not. Why is that? As it turns out, the amount of fat we eat doesn't impact our weight or our cholesterol or our risk of  heart disease s  as well as  kidney diseases nearly as much as what kind of fat we eat. But let's back up: Olive oil is 100% fat. Pancake mix is only 11% fat. But olive oil is mostly unsaturated fat, and it has no trans fat at all. On the other hand, more than half the fat in pancake mix is either saturated or trans fat. And, so, even though olive oil has 10 times as much fat as pancake mix, it's healthy for you, whereas pancake mix is not. Now, I'm not trying to pick on pancake mix. There are lots of foods with this type of fat profile. The point is this: It's not how much fat you eat, it's what kind of fat. And what makes a particular fat healthy or unhealthy is its shape. To

Stones Formation in Kidneys & treatment of kidney stones | Kidney Stones

By
  The biggest kidney stone on record weighed more than a kilogram and was 17 centimeters in diameter. The patient didn't actually swallow a stone the size of a coconut. Kidney stones form inside the body, but unfortunately, they're extremely painful to get out.   Stones Formation in Kidneys- A kidney stone is a hard mass of crystals that can form in the kidneys, ureters, bladder, or urethra . Urine contains compounds that consist of calcium, sodium, potassium, oxalate, uric acid, and phosphate . If the levels of these particles get too high, or if urine becomes too acidic or basic, the particles can clump together and crystallize. Unless the problem is addressed, the crystals will gradually grow over a few weeks, months, or even years, forming a detectable stone. Calcium oxalate is the most common type of crystal to form this way, and accounts for about 80% of kidney stones . Less common kidney stones are made of calcium phosphate , or uric acid . A slightly different t

Why do some people get Bald? | Why Hair fall occurs | Why mostly men suffer Baldness

By
  What do Charles Darwin, Michael Jordan, and Yoda have in common? They, like many other historical and fictive individuals, are bald , in some cases by their own choice.   For centuries, a shining dome has been a symbol of intelligence, but despite this, many balding people still wish their hair would return. Scientists have long pondered,  "Why do some people lose their hair, and how can we bring it back?" Science behind Baldness- The full-headed among us have about 100,000 to 150,000 hairs on our scalps, and scientists have discovered two things about this dense thicket. Firstly , the sprouting hair we see is mostly made up of keratin , the protein leftover from dead cells that are forced upwards as new cells grow beneath them. Secondly , the structures that drive hair growth are called hair follicles , a network of complex organs that forms before we're born, and grows hair in an everlasting cycle. This cycle has three main phases. The first is anagen ,

Motion | A scooterist covers a distance of 3 kilometres in 5 minutes. Calculate his speed in:

By
 Class 9 Motion Physics 1. A scooterist covers a distance of 3 kilometres in 5 minutes. Calculate his speed in: (a) centimetres per second (cm/s) (b) metres per second (m/s) (c) kilometres per hour (km/h) Solution. (a) In order to calculate the speed in centimetres per second we should convert the given distance of 3 kilometres into centimetres and the given time of 5 minutes into seconds. Please note that 1 kilometre has 1000 metres and 1 metre has 100 centimetres. Now, Distance travelled =3 km   = 3 x 1000 m = 3 x 1000 x100 cm = 300,000 cm ----------------- (1) Time taken = 5 minutes = 5 x 60 seconds   = 300 s ------------------------------ (2)     We know that, Speed = Distance travelled / Time taken =   300,000 cm   / 300 s = 1000 cm/s --------------- (3)   Thus, the speed of scooterist is 1000 centimetres per second. (b) In order to express the speed in metres per second we should convert the given distance of 3 kilometres into metres and the
