EC says NO to ban "Rail Engine" Symbol

Recently Chiranjeevi requested Election commission to remove "Rail Engine" symbol from the free symbols list to avoid confusion in people between new symbol "Sun" and the old symbol. PRP does not want people to see both new symbol and old symbols together on EVMs.

Praja Rajyam Party(PRP) wants to avoid the possible damage with thier old symbol in Tekkali election and also in Greater Hyderabad elections. Since "Rail Engine" is going to be in the free symbols list, there is a possibility for alloting it to any independent candidate. However Congress may not opt to give "Rail Engine" symbol to anyone as it will have some impact on votes split. It is a fact that votes split in 2009 general elections helped Congress to retain the power.

Let us see how this issue trouble PRP which is already in so many troubles.
