None of
these parties have ever contested a local body, assembly or Lok Sabha election
since 2005, the EC found out while reviewing the records of unrecognised
parties registered with it.
Although
the EC does not have a direct power to cancel the registration of a political
party, it exercised its powers under Section 29A of the Representation of
People Act 1951, whereby it can take back the symbol of a party. The Total Investment & Insurance

Interestingly,
the addresses given by some of these parties include Union Home Minister's
present residence, and lawyer's chambers at Patiala House courts.
A party
called All India Progressive Janata has given 17, Akbar Road as its address.
This is currently the official residence of Home Minister Rajnath Singh.
Another party by the name Pavitra Hindustan Kaazhagam gave its address as 11,
Harish Chandra Mathur Lane, which is the office of Jammu and Kashmir CID. The Total Investment & Insurance

Similarly,
the Akhil Bharatiya Dastkar Morcha and Rashtiya Yuva Loktantrik Party provided
chamber number 187 and chamber 461 respectively at Patiala House courts as
their addresses.
"The
Election Commission of India has so far deleted the names of 255 political
parties from the list of registered un-recognised political parties maintained
by the Commission under the Section 29A and and para 17 of the Election Symbols
(Reservation and Allotment) Order, 1968.
"This
is for your information and necessary action if any, in view of the provisions
of Section 29B and 29C of R.P Act, 1951," the EC wrote in a letter to
CBDT. The Total Investment &

The EC
said that it has decided to review the cases of the unregistered unrecognised
political parties "which do not set up any candidate at any of the general
elections to the house of the people and/or state legislative assemblies held
during the period from the year 2005 to 2015 as per the Commission's
record" in order to consider whether they continue to exist and function
from the registered office addresses available in the records of the Commission.The Total Investment & Insurance
