To claim the status of a national party, a political party must fulfill the following conditions:

1. Secure at least six per cent (6%) of the valid votes polled in any four or more states, at a general election to the House of the People or to the State Legislative Assembly.

2. Win at least four seats in the House of the People from any State or States, or win at least two per cent (2%) seats in the House of the People (i.e., 11 seats in the existing House having 543 members), and these members are elected from at least three different States.

3. Have received recognition as a state party in at least two states.

The correct answer is option 3, which states that a political party needs to fulfill conditions 1 and 2 to claim national party status. The inclusion of option 3 means that having recognition as a state party in at least two states is not a requirement for national party status. Option 1 includes all three conditions, but option 3 specifies only conditions 1 and 2. Therefore, option 3 is the correct answer.

Alert - Correct answer should be option 1: 1, 2, and 3.
