The State Election Commission on Tuesday rejected objections raised by some individuals and gave the nod for the registrations of the ‘Ysr Congress Party’ as it satisfied all the norms under the Symbol Order, 2001.

According to the EC, the decision to grant registration of the Ysr Congress Party as a political party without a reserved symbol, was taken with the provision that a bank account will be opened within seven days from the receipt of the order.
