Mamata Banerjee-Led TMC Faction Unveils New Logo Ahead of October Bypolls
The Mamata Banerjee-led faction of the Trinamool Congress unveiled a new logo featuring the interim 'football player' election symbol assigned by the Election Commission after freezing the party's original name and flowers-and-grass symbol amid an internal dispute. Ahead of the October 6 bypolls in Nandigram and Rejinagar, the faction is promoting this new identity to familiarize voters. The rival faction led by Arup Roy received a separate name and symbol, with both groups contesting under interim identities while the dispute continues.
