With Kamal, presently touring the state and announcing his intent to contest the Assembly election as an MNM candidate, the symbol is bound to become a prestige legal battle unless the EC restores it to the MNM. Meanwhile, another fledgeling party ‘Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam’ (AMMK) floated by TTV Dhinakaran has managed to the “Pressure Cooker” symbol-using which Dhinakaran had won the famous RK Nagar Assembly byelection in 2017 as an independent defeating both the AIADMK and DMK. However, the party was refused the ‘Pressure Cooker’ symbol for the Lok Sabha election and instead its candidates had to contest that election with the common symbol of “Gift Box” but failed to win a single seat. Ever since its defeat in the LS election and the Assembly byelections held along with it, the party has been seeking the reallotment of the 'Pressure Cooker' symbol.
