The 'Joraful' symbol may be frozen for now, will Mamata and Ritabrata Trinamool contest the elections with new symbols?

Bibhash Lodh, BS News Agency: Who is in possession of the 'Joraful' of the Trinamool? There is little possibility of a final decision before the by-election. The National Election Commission is meeting with the two Trinamools. First, a meeting with 'Ritabrata Trinamool', then 'Kalighat Trinamool'. There is little possibility of a final decision before the by-election. The Commission may give an interim order. The 'Joraful' symbol may be frozen for now, according to Commission sources. The Commission may give temporary names and symbols to the two parties to contest the by-election. (Kalighat TMC vs Ritabrata TMC)

On Saturday, the Election Commission first held a meeting with 'Ritabrata Trinamool' and then with 'Kalighat Trinamool'. It was asked how many MLAs and MPs the two parties have support. Earlier, even with the split in the Shiv Sena in Maharashtra, the commission took a decision based on the support of the majority. At that time, Eknath Shinde had the support of a large number of MLAs and MPs. Shinde argued that Uddhav Thackeray was not following the party's constitution. Today, a similar argument was given by 'Ritvrata Trinamool'. On the other hand, Kalyan from 'Kalighat Trinamool' said that Mamata Banerjee had formed the party. She herself drew a pair of flowers, from which the party's symbol was made. Mamata is with them, Abhishek Banerjee is with them. Mamata has become Chief Minister three times with that symbol. Those who have rebelled now, won the elections with the symbol drawn by Mamata a few months ago. So, they should not be given importance.
