What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

The poll panel ordered a substantive determination regarding faction matters in West Bengal. Mamata Banerjee challenged the Election Commission's decision to freeze the All India Trinamool Congress' name and 'Jora Ghash Phul' symbol. The poll panel subsequently allotted her faction the name 'Mamata All India Trinamool Congress' and the 'Football Player' symbol. Separately, former Election Commissioner Om Prakash Rawat noted that internal differences within the Election Commission over the Special Intensive Revision process were "very unfortunate".
