The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Thursday March 23,2017 allotted 'hat' symbol to the V.K. Sasikala's faction with the name AIDMK Amma while 'electricity pole' symbol was given to the O. Panneerselvam camp with the name AIADMK Puratchi Thalaivi Amma.
The Commission earlier on Wednesday decided to freeze the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) election symbol of 'two leaves', after representatives of former Tamil Nadu chief minister O. Panneerselvam and former party general secretary Sasikala factions made their claims for it.
"Neither of the two groups shall be permitted to use the symbol 'Two Leaves' of the AIADMK," the Election Commission stated.
The poll panel also asked both the factions to choose a new symbol to contest the current by-polls in R.K. Nagar.
The Sasikala-faction gave three options of symbols — Auto, Bat and Cap, to Election Commission. EC gave them ‘Auto Rickshaw’ symbol for contesting the RK Nagar by-poll. When they requested for a change in symbol, the Election Commission gave 'Hat' as their election symbol.
