After New Name, Sharad Pawar's Party Gets 'Man Blowing Turha' Symbol

The Election Commission of India on Thursday allotted the 'Man Blowing Turha' symbol to the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) - Sharadchandra Pawar. 

Days after the Election Commission awarded the NCP name and symbol to the Ajit Pawar faction, the camp led by the party's founder Sharad Pawar received a new symbol. The Nationalist Congress Party's (Shardchandra Pawar) symbol is the'man blowing turha'. The 'turha' is a traditional trumpet.

The Election Commission's decision in favour of the Ajit Pawar-led faction was issued on February 7, and the Supreme Court ruled on Monday that the name given to the Sharad Pawar camp would stand until further orders.

Hearing a petition from the Sharad Pawar camp challenging the February 7 order, the bench granted the NCP founder the right to approach the Election Commission for the symbol. It also directed the poll panel to assign the symbol within a week of the Sharad Pawar camp applying for it.
