Mamata-led TMC submits new name, symbol choices under protest after EC bars party name, ‘flowers and grass’ for Bengal bypolls

The Trinamool Congress submitted new name and symbol choices to the Election Commission. This action followed an interim order temporarily removing the party's original name and symbol. The Election Commission directed the submission for upcoming West Bengal bypolls. The party submitted its response under strongest protest late Thursday night. This dispute arose from a recent rebellion within the party's ranks.
