Inviting suggestions for Team Anna (party symbol/name)


Team Anna is deliberating on giving an overt political dimension to its movement. Most desirable option is forming a political party & contesting the elections. This would prove the identification of the masses with their beliefs & ideology.

Invite your suggestions for a suitable symbol, and name, for Anna Hazare's political party.

To help you get started, I have put together the symbols of some prominent (and not so prominent) political parties in India & what the symbols stand for.




AIADMK: Just as the leaves grow on the stem they grow on, we shall also derive our sustenance from the people who vote for us. 



Akali Dal: An empty scale is the most balanced. We shall also balance our electoral scale with empty promises & no performance.







Biju Janta Dal: Forget utility, we mean to have our voice heard. Actions be damned.





BJP: Just like the lotus, the seat of power is found in in the muck of electoral politics and we shall defy age & ethics in our quest for power & position.




BSP: Those in the legislature or parliament may bark themselves hoarse, we shall do whatever we like. That's what a thick skin is meant for. (If you have any doubts, pls note that the symbol pre-dates ascendancy of the current chief of BSP.)




Communist Party of India: As the original & true representative of the proletariat, we shall turn the entire country into a rural utopia.







Communist Party of India (Marxist)
: Hammer & sickle from no conditions rise, w
ave the red flag, there the revolution lies.










Congress: The hand that robs the nation, rules its coffers. 











DMK: As the sun rises to dispel the darkness, our sons (and daughters too) shall rise to take up our positions when we are physically no longer up to the task. 






Indian National Lok Dal: As we seek power, we may become short-sighted. The glasses would help us see the goal clearly.




Shared by Jharkhand Mukti Morcha & Shiv Sena: Ready for battle, anytime, anywhere, any reason.







MDMK (Marumalarchi DMK): We shall maintain our balance & try to stay in power in the midst of changing alliances & electoral verdicts. Like a spinning top.








Muslim League Kerela State Committee
: Given support, we shall find our own way up.








Nationalist Congress Party: My time will come.



PMK (Pattali Makkal Katchi): The fruits of power are sweet & nothing is sweeter than the king of fruits. Whatever be the duration of our rule, we shall maximise our earnings during that period.








Rashtriya Janta Dal: Who needs electricity? With a lantern in hand, we shall lead you from darkness to light.



Revolutionary Socialist Party: If every one is armed with a spade & shovel, who needs excavators & dumpers? We will dig the grave of industrialisation & mechanisation.





Samajwadi Party: We strive to make the lives of common man more comfortable. We shall promote the use of bicycles as a favoured means of transport for reasons of health & environment. The funds allocated for the road sector shall be used to fill the potholes on the roads (and our own bank accounts).



Trinamool Congress: Those who call this flower "fool" are all either naxalites, maoists or communists.








Uttarakhand Kranti Dal
: Its all about the Kursi, stupid! (This is one is my favourite for being so blatantly honest, sincere & truthful!) 







For an international flavour, here are the logos of the major parties in the most advanced democracy (USA):

 




Democratic Party: I am an ass











Republican Party: I have a bigger ass
