EC allotted 'Mamata All India Trinamool Congress'Congress'Congress' name.

The Mamata Banerjee-led faction of the Trinamool Congress has unveiled a new party logo featuring the interim ‘Football Player’ election symbol allotted by the Election Commission ahead of the West Bengal bypolls. The new identity comes after the poll panel barred the rival factions from using the original All India Trinamool Congress name and its traditional ‘Flowers and Grass’ symbol for the upcoming elections. The Mamata-led group has now been named ‘Mamata All India Trinamool Congress’ and is asking its leaders and elected representatives to promote the new logo widely.

The new logo places a football player at the centre, with the words “Mamata All India Trinamool Congress” written in white against a blue background. Saffron, white and green bands have also been incorporated into the design.

The development follows the EC’s decision to freeze the use of the ‘All India Trinamool Congress’ name and the reserved ‘Flowers and Grass’ symbol amid an internal dispute over control of the party. The Commission said the rival groups would have to contest the upcoming bypolls using separate names and symbols.
