CPI(M) Symbol Controversy in Jharkhand Elections

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has filed a complaint against the INDIA bloc partners in Jharkhand for allegedly using its election symbol without consent. CPI(M) claims it is independently contesting nine seats and not part of the INDIA bloc in the state assembly elections.

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has raised alarms over the unauthorized use of its election symbol during campaigning in Jharkhand.

The party claims its symbol has been misused by INDIA bloc partners, despite CPI(M) contesting the elections independently in the state.

The Election Commission has been urged to address this infringement before the upcoming assembly elections.
