The correct answer is: Only 1 & 2.
Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Samajwadi Party (SP) have the same election symbol, which is the “Rising Sun”. All India Forward Bloc (AIFB) and Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP) have the same election symbol, which is the “Lotus”. Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) and Shiv Sena (SS) have different election symbols.
The election symbol of a political party is a very important part of its identity. It is used on all of the party’s election materials, such as posters, banners, and leaflets. It is also used on the ballot paper, so that voters can easily identify the party they want to vote for.
The election symbol of a political party is usually chosen to reflect the party’s ideology or its history. For example, the TDP’s election symbol, the “Rising Sun”, represents the party’s goal of bringing prosperity to the people of Andhra Pradesh. The SP’s election symbol, the “Cycle”, represents the party’s commitment to social justice and equality.
The election symbol of a political party is also protected by law. No other party can use the same symbol without the permission of the first party. This is to prevent confusion among voters and to ensure that each party has a unique identity.
