Sharad Pawar faction moves SC for new symbols to NCP factions ahead of Maharashtra assembly polls
Maharashtra Assembly elections, veteran leader Sharad Pawar led faction moved the Supreme Court on Friday seeking that both factions of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) be given new poll symbols. A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan listed the plea for hearing on September 25 after senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, appearing for Sharad Pawar faction submitted that they want urgent listing of the matter in view of the assembly elections in Maharashtra.
Singhvi said that till the matter is finally decided, both the groups should be given new symbols ahead of the Maharashtra Assembly elections.
Sharad Pawar has moved the apex court against the February 6 order of the Election Commission recognising Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar-led group as the real Nationalist Congress Party (NCP).
The Election Commission (EC) has also allotted the NCP symbol 'clock' to the group led by Ajit Pawar. The NCP, founded by Sharad Pawar, had 'clock' as its election symbol before its split.
On March 19, the top court allowed the Sharad Pawar faction to use 'Nationalist Congress Party-Sharadchandra Pawar' as its name along with the symbol of 'Man blowing Turha' ahead of the Lok Sabha polls in the country.
