New Delhi: A Janata Dal (United) delegation will visit the Election Commission on Monday, seeking a quick decision on the claim of the Sharad Yadav faction over the party's symbol.
Its chief spokesperson K C Tyagi said the Yadav faction wanted to delay a decision so as to deny it the electoral symbol of arrow in the Gujarat Assembly polls.
He had on Saturday announced that the Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar-led party will contest on its four to five traditional seats in the state.
"The EC has taken a decision on the matter twice. But the rival faction is only interested in dragging the issue and delaying a final decision," Tyagi said.
He has accused the Yadav faction, which claims support of a majority of the party's office-bearers, of filing "forged" documents before the EC to support its claim.
Almost all party MLAs and MPs, barring its Rajya Sabha members, have supported Kumar and submitted affidavits in his support.
