Election Commission (EC) has announced AAP as the newest national party, whereas Mamata Banerjee’s TMC (Trinamool Congress), NCP (Nationalist Congress Party) and CPI (Communist Party of India) suffered a major setback on Monday. After losing the national party status, the TMC is exploring legal options to challenge the decision of the EC, a party source said.
Speaking to the media, a TMC party source said, “The party is exploring legal options to challenge this decision by EC.”
However, the West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee-led party did not issue any official reaction.
The opposition BJP mocked the TMC following the development.
Taking to Twitter, BJP state president Sukanta Majumdar wrote, “TMC lost the national party status & will be recognised as a regional party. Didi’s aspiration to grow TMC find no place as people know TMC runs a most corrupt, full of appeasement & terror govt. Govt’s fall is also certain as people of WB will not tolerate this govt for long.”
According to the order issued by EC, the NCP and TMC will be recognised as state parties in Nagaland and Meghalaya respectively, based on their performance in the recently concluded assembly elections.

The TMC was formed on January 1, 1998, after West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee left the Congress to form her own political party.
After two unsuccessful attempts in 2001 and 2006, the party came to power by defeating the Left Front in 2011, riding the crest of massive public outrage against the communists.
In recent years, the party has tried to expand its footprint across the country to pose a direct challenge to the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. However, the efforts did not bear much fruit.
After the announcement, in the country’s multi-party system, now onwards there will be six national parties- the Congress, BJP, CPI(M), Mayawati’s Bahujan Samaj Party, the National People’s Party (NPP) and the latest entrant, AAP.
