Amidst speculation about the announcement of Lok Sabha election schedule, the Election Commission of India is holding a press conference in the national capital on Sunday at 5 pm.
The press conference will be held at Vigyan Bhavan.
Meanwhile, the poll panel headed by Sunil Arora also rolled out a list allotting the common party symbols to 39 registered un-recognised parties for coming general elections.
Notably, Kamal Haasan's Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) has been allotted Battery Torch symbol while Loktantrik Janata Dal got the symbol of a "Man blowing Turha".
The actor turned politician Haasan also tweeted on the same and said, "MNM thanks the Election commission for granting us the "Battery Torch" symbol for the forthcoming elections. So appropriate. @maiamofficial will endeavour to be the "Torch-Bearer" for a new era in TN and Indian politics.
