Concept:For State Party recognition, the Election Commission prescribes vote-share plus seat conditions.
Explanation:A party is recognised as a State Party through the Assembly route only if it fulfils both conditions.
i. It secures at least
6% of total valid votes polled in the State Legislative Assembly election.
ii. It wins at least
2 seats in that State Legislative Assembly.
So i and ii are correct together.
iii. The Lok Sabha route requires
6% of valid votes, not
4%; hence iii is wrong.
iv. Merely securing
6% of valid votes in the Lok Sabha election from the State is not sufficient; the party must also win at least
1 Lok Sabha seat from that State.
Therefore, only i and ii match the recognition condition.
Answer:Only i and ii (Option C).
