Both sides have staked their claims before the Election Commission regarding the party and its election symbol, the ‘Twin Flowers’ (*Jora Phul*). Ultimately, who does the real TMC belong to? On what grounds will the Election Commission make its decision? Will Mamata Banerjee manage to retain her party and symbol, or will Ritabrata Banerjee’s claim prevail?
