NEW DELHI: The

Election Commission of India

on Thursday allotted “

man blowing turha

(a traditional trumpet)” as the symbol of the Nationalist Congress Party-Sharadchandra Pawar.
“Our candidates will contest the upcoming Lok Sabha polls on this symbol,” NCP-Sharad spokesperson Clyde Crasto said.

The Sharad Pawar-founded

NCP

split in July last year after Ajit Pawar and eight other MLAs joined the Eknath Shinde government.

The poll panel later gave the party name and ‘clock’ symbol to the faction led by deputy CM Ajit Pawar.
