Split Decision: Mamata's Supreme Court Challenge and the Erosion of Party Identity The Election Commission's decision to freeze the name and symbol of the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) has sparked a contentious battle in Indian politics.
Former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, leader of one faction of the party, has taken her dispute with rival factions to the Supreme Court.
