Both the camps met the Election Commission in Delhi today to stake claim to the “cycle” symbol.
Mulayam, accompanied by Amar Singh and Shivpal Singh, told the EC that the party convention called by the Akhilesh camp on January 1 was “unconstitutional” as Ram Gopal, who convened the meet, had been expelled from the party on December 30.
Though the Mulayam camp did not submit any fresh documents, they claimed that he was still the SP chief and had legal claim over the party and its symbol. “I will sign Form A and B (relating to party affiliation and party symbol for contesting candidates). Now EC has to decide on the cycle symbol,” said Mulayam.
