- The two leaves symbol will belong to none and it is getting frozen.
- Neither of the parties should make use of the party name AIADMK
- Both the parties should choose their respective party symbol from the list of 85 preset symbols by the Election Commission. Intimation regarding the same should be submitted to the EC by or before 10 am on Thursday, today,
- The parties should also choose a name other than AIADMK and submit with the EC before the same deadline
The EC had also requested submission of favorable documents within 17th April.
AIADMK Amma
Following EC’s stringent order not to use the party name or party symbol, Sasikala’s party has newly named itself as AIADMK Amma. And the EC has approved the same too
AIADMK Puratchi Thalaivi Amma
Likewise, OPS party has named itself as AIADMK Puratchi Thalaivi Amma and submitted a petition with the EC. Thus both the parties have got the names AIADMK as well as Amma intact.
Independent symbol
T.T.V Dinakaran had asked OPS to compete in the by-election with independent symbol. He who said so will also contest in the election with independent symbol only.
