As the jubilant Ajit Pawar faction of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) continued to celebrate its victory in the Election Commission, the rival Sharad Pawar-led faction was allotted a new name, the Nationalist Congress Party-Sharadchandra Pawar, on Wednesday. The new symbol will be allotted soon. The new name is a one-time provision for the impending Rajya Sabha elections.
The Sharad Pawar faction had submitted three preferences, as asked by the commission, for the new symbol and name which had the party founder’s name in it. The three preferences were -- Nationalist Congress Party -Sharadchandra Pawar, Nationalist Congress Party-Sharad Pawar, and NCP-Sharad Pawar. The Ajit Pawar faction has been given the original symbol of the clock.
