No common symbol for candidates: Sanyukt Samaj Morcha

Chandigarh: A day after claiming allocation of 'cot' as a common symbol for candidates, the Sanyukt Samaj Morcha on Saturday took a U-turn and said no common symbol had been allocated to their candidates. Chief spokesperson Manjit Singh said there was a confusion among voters about the SSM symbol. “It is clarified at the time of filing of nominations, SSM candidates submitted papers as Independent candidates. So there is no single election symbol.” He said many of them got ‘cot’, while others got 'pot' as symbols. The SSM had demanded 'tractor' as a common symbol. TNS
