A party is one row for as long as it keeps its name and symbol. Splits and mergers make new rows: the Congress of 1971 and the Congress (I) of 1980 are recorded separately, because that is how the Election Commission recorded them at the time. “Best result” here is the best result in a single state assembly, not a national total — the two houses are never added together. “National”, “State” and “Registered, unrecognised” reflect each party’s Election Commission recognition status as recorded in the source data, which can change over a party’s lifetime.
