In Fight For Trinamool Name And Symbol, Poll Body's Freeze Ahead Of Bypolls
Neither of the two factions, one led by former chief minister Mamata Banerjee and the other by Ritabrata Banerjee, can use AITC and 'flowers and grass' in the Nandigram and Rejinagar bypolls to be held on October 6.
The Election Commission of India has temporarily suspended the All India Trinamool Congress' (AITC) usage of its name and its floral symbol for the upcoming Nandigram and Rejinagar by-elections on October 6. The interim decision was made to ensure both factions, led by Mamata Banerjee and Ritabrata Banerjee, are treated equally and to safeguard their rights, echoing previous similar decisions.
Both factions will now be permitted to choose their own group names and symbols from the list of available options, as stipulated by the ECI.
