Swaraj India candidates get 'whistle' symbol for MCD polls

PTI

Swaraj India claimed on Saturday that all its candidates for the municipal polls in Delhi have been allocated ‘whistle' as symbol. “Despite being a registered party we were not given a common symbol earlier," party spokesperson Anupam said, and alleged the AAP, under a "conspiracy", got nominations of 24 of its candidates cancelled. Swaraj India had asked its candidates to choose three similar symbols — whistle, window and tractor — from the list of free symbols meant for independents and unrecognised political parties to overcome the hindrance of non-availability of common symbol.
