Correct Answer:

1

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1 -  1 

1. Indian National Congress

Originally the election symbol of the Congress was a 'yoked pair of bullocks'.

However, after the party split in 1969, the symbol changed. The faction led by Indira Gandhi was allocated a new symbol, the "cow and calf", and eventually, after another split, the faction that remained recognized as the Indian National Congress adopted the "Hand" symbol, which is used to this day. This was inspired by Hemambika Temple, Palakkad (Kerala).
