Rival factions of the Trinamool Congress are scheduled to meet the Election Commission of India in Delhi to resolve the dispute over the party symbol. The rebel camp, led by Ritabrata Banerjee, is slated to meet the commission first, followed by the Mamata Banerjee faction. Both factions claim to represent the authentic TMC and have fielded candidates using the same party symbol ahead of the upcoming Nandigram by-poll on October 6. While the Mamata Banerjee camp asserts that she is the face of the party, the rebel faction maintains they await the poll body’s decision, aiming to cancel the opposing group’s membership if the ruling goes in their favour.
