Detailed Solution

Only those recognised as national parties can contest elections at the Union level, which is a wrong statement because both parties, either at the level of the state or the Nation, can challenge the election.

The Election commission plays an essential part in commencing elections in the Nation and recognition of political parties. It also allotted various symbols to different political parties, which can exclusively be used by the members of that verified political party.

So, the assertion is false, and the statement of Reason is true.
