Answer
The above statement is False. The Election Commission of India recognises a political party as National or Regional party on the basis of specific criteria namely:
The number of seats secured in Parliament and Legislative Assembly or percentage of votes secured.
Shiromani Akali Dal does not meet the criteria listed above.
As its influence is limited to the state of Punjab and not in any other state.
