Confusion arises as the Election Commission (EC) assigns glass symbols to independent candidates in certain areas. Former MLA Meesala Geetha, contesting independently in Vizianagaram, received a glass symbol despite objections from TDP leaders, who claim the symbol is reserved for Janasena.
The returning officer defended the decision, citing a lack of instructions to the contrary. Similarly, Suryachandra of Janasena, running independently in Jaggampeta, faced controversy over the glass symbol assignment. The situation underscores the need for clear directives from the EC to avoid such disputes in the future.
