In a much needed relief to the TRS party ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, the chief Election Commission of India (ECI) has announced that it will not allot ‘TRUCK’ and ‘IRON’ to any party.
In the recent Telangana assembly elections, All India Forward Bloc party was allotted ‘TRUCK’ symbol and in many constituencies, this party stood second surpassing MahaKutami (Congress, TDP and CPI). TRS Minister Koppula Eshwar won with a slight majority of 300 votes while many of ruling party MLAs were biting their nails till the last round of counting. After analysing the election results, TRS party found out the ‘TRUCK’ played the spoilt sport.
TRS MP Vinod Kumar along with his party delegation gave a representation to the ECI that their ‘CAR’ symbol is resembling the ‘TRUCK’ in EVMs. So they urged ECI to look into this issue in view of Parliament polls. They also submitted a re-designed version of ‘CAR’ symbol. After considering their request, Election Commission it removed ‘TRUCK’ and ‘IRON’ symbols from the Pre-Symbols list and approved TRS’ new symbol.
