The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed Sharad Pawar faction of Nationalist Congress Party to use ‘man blowing turha’ symbol for Lok Sabha and State Assembly elections.
The apex court also asked the Election Commission of India to reserve the ‘man blowing turha’ symbol for the Sharad Pawar faction ‘Nationalist Congress Party – Sharad Chandra Pawar’, adding that the symbol should not be allotted to any other party or candidate.
For the Ajit Pawar faction, the Supreme Court has asked it to issue a public notice mentioning that the ‘clock’ symbol allotted to it is sub judice.
The court has directed the Ajit Pawar faction to issue the notice regarding the same in English, Hindi, Marathi media and to mention it in all its campaign ads.
The ECI had recognised the Ajit Pawar’s group as the ‘real NCP’.
