With the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) winning over 28 of the 70 seats in the Delhi Assembly elections, the Election Commission is all set to recognise it as a ‘State party.’
The party registered as a political party by the Commission only in March this year.
"It is our responsibility to give a popular government to the people of Delhi. We will find out the solution and try our level best to give an alternative to the people of Delhi by forming a government under the leadership of Harsh Vardhan," former BJP president Nitin Gadkari, who was also the party's in-charge for the Delhi elections, was quoted as saying.
Asked whether the BJP was mulling over drawing support from the debutant Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), he said: "This question does not arise, neither there is any proposal from their side."
“This election shows that honest politics can win over corrupt politics,” said Mr. Kejriwal at a televised press conference Sunday evening. “In many ways, this is a historic election.”
The AAP, which was allotted “broom” as the election symbol by the Commission, will now have the choice of retaining it as the party’s permanent election symbol or design its own symbol provided it is within the rules and regulations of the Commission. The EC recognition would mean that the AAP can participate in the all-party meetings convened by the EC/the State/Central governments, get a permanent common symbol for all their contestants, and can address the voters through the All India Radio and Doordarshan during poll.
If a party is recognised as a “State Party” in four or more States, then it will automatically become a national party. It will lose the recognition if it performs poorly in the subsequent polls.
