Congress backs Mamata as ECI freezes name and symbol of Trinamool Congress
Congress has expressed support for Mamata Banerjee after the Election Commission ordered a freeze on the Trinamool Congress’s name and electoral symbol. Party leaders Rahul Gandhi and general secretary K.C. Venugopal condemned the move, saying it hampers a party that was founded 28 years ago. The criticism underscores political ongoing tension over the decision recently in India.
