Mokim Addresses Absence of Congress Symbol on Sophia Firdos's Banner, Fuels New Party Speculation

Mokim opens up on the issue of the absence of party symbol on Sophia's banner: He has wished her well Cuttack, 3112 (Bureau): The joint banner of Barabati-Cuttack MLA Sophia Firdos and her father, former MLA Eng. Mohammed Mokim, is currently being discussed in the political circles. Banners with the photos of both of them have been put up in some places in Cuttack city. This banner, which is being used to wish New Year, does not have the Congress party symbol or hand symbol. Although the banner has the word 'MLA' under Sophia's photo, the lack of Congress or hand symbol has increased the discussion. Mokim opened up on this issue today. He told the media that the banner was not put up on his behalf or on behalf of Sophia. I have been in politics for a long time, I guess someone put up a banner with Sophia's photo and wished her a happy New Year. The banner that was put up to wish her a happy New Year is not a political issue. Those who voted for me also made Sophia a MLA. The workers and leaders who were with me are also with Sophia. So, the well-wishers who have independent thoughts put up a father-daughter banner with a photo together and did not give a party symbol. I guess -9099- I wish you a very happy New Year and a happy New Year. On the other hand, although Sophia's banner put up in some parts of the city has the Congress party's hand symbol, some banners put up with Mokim do not have the party symbol, which is controversial. This proves that Mokim's supporters in Cuttack are distancing themselves from the Congress before the formation of the new party. While Mokim is touring various parts of the state to coordinate with political leaders, it is said that supporters have started a political program by waving banners in Cuttack. It is heard from his close aides that Mokim is planning to hold a big rally in Bhubaneswar before announcing the new party.
