Indian PolityConstitutional, Statutory & Election Bodies
In India, political parties are given recognition by
  1. a.Election Commission.
  2. b.Speaker of Lok Sabha.
  3. c.President.
  4. d.Law Commission.

Answer: (A) Election Commission.

The Election Commission recognises political parties as national or state parties and allots symbols under the Election Symbols (Reservation and Allotment) Order, 1968. The Speaker only recognises parties' strength within the House for parliamentary purposes, and the President and Law Commission have no such role.
