New Delhi, 10/4: In a big achievement for AAP, the Election Commission of India (ECI) on April 10 granted the status of a national party to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), while also withdrawing this status from the Trinamool Congress (TMC) party, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), and the Communist Party of India (CPI)
This move comes only days after the ECI informed the Karnataka High Court that it will decide on the AAP’s application for the grant of ‘national party’ status before April 13, when the gazette notification of the Karnataka Assembly polls will be issued.
AAP had filed an application for the grant of national party status in December 2022.
The Commission said the AAP has been named as a national party based on its electoral performance in four States — Delhi, Goa, Punjab and Gujara
