Sharad Pawar inaugurates new party symbol at Raigad fort

After losing the iconic ‘clock’ symbol of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) to the Ajit Pawar-led rebel NCP faction, the NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) launched its new symbol of a ‘man blowing tura (trumpet)’ in the presence of party chief Sharad Pawar at Raigad fort on Saturday.

Mr. Pawar, along with leaders from his faction, including Supriya Sule, Jayant Patil, MP Amol Kolhe and Jitendra Awhad, among others, paid obeisance to the statue of the 17th century warrior king Chhatrapati Shivaji.

The Election Commission of India allotted a ‘Man blowing Turha’, the new symbol to the Nationalist Congress Party-Sharadchandra Pawar, on February 22. (Source: ANI)
