ANSWER: National People's Party
It is the first case where recognition of a party has been suspended by it under Election Symbols (Reservation and Allotment) Order 1968, for its failure to follow the lawful directions of the Commission. Since the elections to the Lok Sabha and elections to the Legislative Assemblies of Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Odisha and Sikkim, were completed on 28th May 2014, the political parties were required to submit their election expenditure statements by 26th of August 2014.The Commission had issued two reminders to the NPP to submit the required statement after the due date had long expired.
