Section 29A of the Representation of the People Act 1951 provides for registration of parties and the Election Commission carries it out. A party recognised in four or more states qualifies as a National Party, and the Election Commission’s list for the 1999 general election recorded 6 national and 48 state parties. Hence all four statements are correct. ([licchavilyceum.com](https://licchavilyceum.com/upsc-civil-services-prelims-2001-solved-question-paper/))
