Ritabrata faction welcomes Trinamool name and symbol freeze; Mamata faction calls move contrary to law
The Election Commission ordered the Trinamool Congress’s name and symbol to be frozen. The faction led by Ritabrata Banerjee welcomed the decision, while the faction aligned with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said the move violates legal provisions. Both groups have submitted alternative party names and symbols to the commission for approval as part of the ongoing intra‑party dispute.
