The Election Commission of India (ECI) froze Lok Janshakti Party's symbol amid a tussle between factions of Chirag Pawan and Pashupati Kumar Paras.

ECI in an official statement said "neither of the two groups of Paswan or Chirag will be permitted to use the symbol LJP". The Commission further directed both the groups to chose, as an interim measure, the names of their groups and the "symbols which may be allotted to the candidates set up, if any, by the respective groups," latest by October 4.
