Mumbai: After the farewell of Uddhav Thackeray from the CM's official bungalow in Maharashtra yesterday, there is a tussle within the Shiv Sena over the election symbol. The election symbol of Shiv Sena is bow and arrow. The game of making political strategy has started between Eknath Shinde and Uddhav Thackeray regarding this. Uddhav Thackeray is planning to meet Shiv Sena leaders in Matoshree today. Some legal experts are also said to be among these leaders.
The Eknath Shinde faction claims that the real Shiv Sena belongs to them as they have more numbers. Shinde claims that he has more than 37 MLAs of Shiv Sena whereas Uddhav has only 18 MLAs. On the other hand, Eknath Shinde has appointed Shiv Sena MLA from Raigad Bharat Gogwale as chief whip, while Shiv Sena has appointed Dindoshi MLA Sunil Prabhu as chief whip. At the same time, Shiv Sena has made Ajay Chaudhary the leader of Shiv Sena Legislature Party. Prior to this, Eknath Shinde was the leader of Shiv Sena Legislature Party. That is, in today's situation, the rebel group also has the chief whip and Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena also has the post of chief whip. Now in such a situation, the faction of Eknath Shinde can go to the Election Commission and the court and stake their claim on the Shiv Sena's election symbol bow and arrow. It is clear from this that in the coming days, there is going to be a war about who will be Shiv Sena. This fight will happen in legal form as well as on the road.
Let us tell you that after the rebellion of the MLAs led by Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde, CM Uddhav Thackeray vacated his official residence Varsha late last night and went to his personal residence Matoshree in Brandra. Earlier on Wednesday evening, he had said in Facebook Live that if even an MLA comes forward and tells him that I should leave the post of Chief Minister, then I will resign easily. He said that he is not greedy for power. On the other hand, the number of MLAs is increasing in support of Eknath Shinde camping in Guwahati.
