TMC symbol war: How Mamata Banerjee’s rebellion legacy has come back to haunt the party she found
The Election Commission barred both factions of the Trinamool Congress from using its name and symbol ahead of the October 6 bypolls. Mamata Banerjee's faction will use the name "Mamata All India Trinamool Congress" and the "Football Player" symbol, while the rebel group led by Arup Roy will be known as "Democratic Trinamool Congress" with the "Envelope" symbol. This marks a significant shift in the party's identity.
