AI-generated practice question — model-generated for extra practice, not a previous-year CBSE board question.

Model Answer

No, the claim is not valid. To be recognised as a national party, a party must secure at least 6% of total votes in Lok Sabha/Assembly elections in four states and win at least four Lok Sabha seats.

Explanation

The question tests knowledge of ECI's recognition criteria. The party only mentions seats (not the 6% vote share) and covers only 3 states (not 4). Both conditions must be met simultaneously — missing either makes the claim invalid.
