Bangalore: Before the assembly elections to be held in Karnataka, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has worked hard to get the national party tag. The AAP has not yet received the status of a national party from the Election Commission. After which, now, Kejriwal has gone to the Karnataka High Court and requested that it issue an order in this regard. After hearing Kejriwal's petition, the High Court has ordered the Election Commission to take a decision in this regard on or before April 13. Senior Advocate K. Diwakar appeared for AAP in the High Court. Justice M. Nagaprasanna's bench heard the petition.
Senior advocate K. Diwakar told Justice M. Nagaprasanna that under Section 6(b) of the Election Symbols (Reservation and Allotment) Orders of 1968, a law has been made that more than 6 percent of the population in the 4 states of the country—Delhi, Punjab, Gujarat, and Goa—must be Indian citizens.The party getting the most votes should be given the status of a national party. On December 19, 2022, AAP appeared before the Election Commission and presented its claim. But when no decision came for a long time, AAP sent reminders to the Election Commission on February 6, March 8, and March 15.
In fact, AAP argues that it is in power in Delhi and Punjab with more than 6 percent of the votes in four states. That's why it should get the status of a national party. AAP says that the Election Commission is hesitating to take this decision under any pressure. The AAP urged the Karnataka High Court to issue an order in this regard. Accepting AAP's argument as correct, Justice Nagaprasanna asked the Election Commission to resolve it by April 13. The court said that if, according to the rules, AAP can be given the status of a national party, then the commission should immediately decide.
