In continuation of that, the NCP has chosen a symbol from the EC's list and submitted an application today. Among them, the first is Shapla, the second is white Shapla, and the third is Shapla Kali. In that case, the NCP will accept it if it gets Shapla Kali, he said.Those concerned said that the meeting is being held with the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) regarding the inclusion of 'Shapla' in the list of voting symbols. Despite repeated demands, the EC has already decided not to allocate the Shapla symbol to any party.

Shapla Kali has been added to this list, although the NCP has been demanding Shapla as their party symbol for a long time.The Election Commission has decided to register two parties ahead of the 13th parliamentary elections. Among them is the NCP, and the process of issuing a notification is underway to find out if there are any objections to the party.
