The Election Commission of India (ECI) has allotted the symbol of 'Man blowing a turha' (Tutari vajavnara manus) to the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) led by Sharad Pawar, signifying Maratha heritage.
The election symbol represents a 'person playing trumpet', which is known as 'Tutari' in Maharashtra and is a symbol of Maratha heritage.
After this decision, the Sharad Pawar faction has adopted a new name - 'Nationalist Congress Party-Sharad Chandra Pawar'.
