Left parties CPI and CPI(M) falls in danger. They might lose the status of National Parties with this general election. EC has to recognize any party as National party as per their vote share and number of seats they captured. Party should secure at least 6% of polled votes in four states or party should win 2% total Parliament Seats (545). This is sure that CPI will lose its status after getting the % of votes in the general elections.
CPI won just one Parliament Segment throughout the India. And party also failed to get minimum % of votes in other states too. CPI could lose the status in 2009 general elections itself but survived after it receiving minimum % of votes. But this time CPI could not avert the danger. CPI(M) too fails to get 2% total Parliament Seats (545) i.e. 11. Party won 9 altogether and two other Independents won with the support of CPI(M) in Kerala.
Not only CPI and CPI(M) other parties like Nationalist Congress Party (1.6% votes and 6 MPs) and BSP with 4.1% of votes might lose the status of National Parties. There are 6 National Parties across the nation like Congress, BJP, CPI, CPI(M), NCP and BSP. Now all other parties have lost their National Party status except Congress and BJP. Left parties review the postmortem after the elections and believe that BJP benefit anti-government vote in total.
