Model Answer

(D) Rashtriya Lok Dal and Jan Satta Dal

Options A, B, and C contain parties that are alliances or share a common ideological/regional base, whereas Rashtriya Lok Dal and Jan Satta Dal do not share such a grouping.

Explanation

This question tests knowledge of political party groupings/alliances. Options (A), (B), and (C) pair parties that are known to be part of the same alliance or coalition groupings (e.g., INC and CPI-M in UPA/Left; RJD and LJP in NDA-allied groupings). Option (D) pairs Rashtriya Lok Dal and Jan Satta Dal, which do not belong to the same alliance or grouping, making it the odd one out. Since the textbook passage is limited on specific regional party alliances, focus on what the Election Commission classifies as State/national parties.
