The TMC split: Why Mamata’s party name & symbol are frozen | The Hindu Editorial
The Election Commission of India has temporarily suspended the All India Trinamool Congress’s official name and its grass‑and‑flowers emblem following an internal split within the party. The move, announced on 17 September 2026, comes nearly 28 years after Mamata Banerjee founded the party and adopted its symbol. The freeze will remain until the commission resolves the dispute.
