Sharad Pawar Faction Gets 'Man Blowing Turha' as Party Symbol, Confirms NCP Spokesperson

The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Thursday allotted a new party symbol to the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) faction led by Sharad Pawar, days after it gave the NCP name and its orignal ‘clock’ symbol to the Ajit Pawar faction. According to the NCP-Sharadchandra Pawar camp, the new party symbol given to them is a ‘man blowing turha’.

The ‘turha’ is a traditional trumpet, also known as ‘Tutari’. The symbol denotes a man blowing the traditional trumpet.

"In the history of Maharashtra, Chhatrapati Shiv Rai's valor, the Trumpet, had once defeaned the emperor of Delhi. It is a matter of pride for 'Nationalist Congress Party - Sharad Chandra Pawar' today. This ‘Tutari’ is ready to once again to shake the throne of Delhi under the leadership of Sharadchandra Pawar saheb!,” the NCP-Sharadchandra Pawar camp wrote in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
