List of political parties in India

Political parties in India lists political parties in India. India has a multi-party system with a predominance of small regional parties. National parties are those that are recognized in four or more states. They are accorded this status by the Election Commission of India, which periodically reviews the election results in various states. This recognition helps the political parties to claim unique ownership of certain identities, such as the party symbol, until the next review of their status. Below are national parties as per October 2004.

The parties

The listed names of Indian political parties differs from the general rule of Wikipedia. The names listed are generally the names as they have been registered at the Election Commission of India. In some cases an unoffical English translation is present in brackets. Rationale and specifics: See: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English).The Constitution of India stipulates that India be a federal polity with a central government in New Delhi, and state governments for the various states and Union territories. Consequently, political parties in India are classified as national and state (regional) parties based on their realms of influence.

National parties

State parties

Parties that have received certain amount of votes or seats in a state might be recognized as a state party by the Election Commission. Recognition as a state party given the party the possibilty to reserve a particular election symbol in the concerned state. A party might be recognized in more than one state. A party recognized in four states is automatically recognized as a national party. Below is the list of recognized state parties ahead of the Maharashtra & Arunachal Pradesh state assembly elections in October 2004.

The English translation of vernacular names are enclosed in parentheses, though some of these parties seldom use the English version. The states where the party has gained recognition is also stated, although the party may very well be active in more states and territories than that.

Registered Unrecognized Parties

The large number of political parties are registered at the Election Commission, without having gained any recognition as National or State parties. In many cases registrations remain, although the party in question might have disbanded or merged into another formation several years ago.

Parties from the past

Coalitions

Since 1990, the Indian electorate has consistently thrown fragmented verdicts both at the state and national levels. This has led parties with minimal (and sometimes considerable) ideological differences to come together as a loose federation of parties to stake claim for power. The following are coalitions of political parties in India.
