The
election commission shocked the
janasena party and the Opposition Alliance shortly before the
andhra pradesh elections. The glass tumbler symbol used by
janasena caused misunderstanding once more. The Glass Tumbler of the Jana Sena
party was one of the free emblems. It is listed among the emblems in each of Andhra Pradesh's 175 and 25
mp seats. The
election Commission's judgment is likely to cause headaches unless it is overturned.
The information of the 26 states in the union that have recognized state parties has been made public by the
election Commission. YSRCP and
tdp are on the list of acknowledged parties in Andhra Pradesh. In
telangana, the
mim and BRS parties were acknowledged. Only that
janasena is a registered
party is mentioned. There is a common emblem just for Recognised parties. The collection of free symbols now includes the glass symbol. The
janasena party is concerned that
people would become confused if the symbol is changed at this time. The
election commission and the party's legal staff are already in communication.
The
janasena party claims that this issue is only transient. The same emblem was given to
janasena even in the
telangana polls, and the Commission can't reject it for Andhra Pradesh. The real issue is apart from what the
media is discussing, which is whether
janasena will receive the insignia in its seats. However, in the
telangana constituencies where
janasena is running, the glass tumbler is a free symbol. Should that prove to be the case in
andhra pradesh, it might lead to more complications in the seats that the
tdp and
bjp are vying for. The
election commission needs to ideally freeze the symbol throughout every
andhra pradesh constituency.
