October 6 , 2021 1070 days 807 0
  • The Election Commission of India (ECI) has frozen the ‘Bungalow’ election symbol of the Lok Jan Shakti Party from Bihar.
  • Now neither of the two factions of the party will be able to use it in the coming Assembly by-elections.
  • As per the guidelines,
    • A party/candidate has to provide a list of three symbols from the EC’s free symbols list at the time of filing nomination papers.
    • Among them, one symbol is allotted to the party/candidate on a first-come-first-serve basis.
    • When a recognised political party splits, the Election Commission takes the decision on assigning the symbol.
