Mumbai: The Election Commission has given its final decision to the Thackeray and Shinde factions regarding the election symbol in Maharashtra. In fact, the Commission has banned the party's name and arrow mark of both factions. This is because in the past, both groups had asked for documents about the claim and since then voices have started to be raised against it from the Thackeray group. Going by the media reports that have surfaced, the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena faction has called the decision an injustice.
In fact, in June this year, Shiv Sena was divided into two parts. It has Uddhav Thackeray on one side and Eknath Shinde on the other. Yes, both factions are claiming to be the real Shiv Sena. At the same time, both were claiming the name and symbol of the party, although now the use of both the party and election symbol has been banned. Yes and let us tell you for information that this decision has dealt a big blow to the Shiv Sena after Eknath Shinde's rebellion. The Election Commission has said that both factions of the Shiv Sena, Thackeray and Shinde, will not be allowed to use the party's name or symbol in the Andheri East Assembly bypoll in Mumbai.
At first, many people had hoped that this decision would freeze the Shiv Sena's election symbol and because of this, it was predicted that only the Shiv Sena would suffer a major setback. However, the Election Commission has taken another step. The Shinde faction has also suffered. Yes, after the Election Commission's decision, party chief Uddhav Thackeray tweeted, 'This is a two-word post that will win.' You can see that there is a photo with Shiv Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray in this post. Uddhav Thackeray's photo with Balasaheb has been posted officially.
In the backdrop of claims by both factions on name and symbol, the Election Commission has issued an interim order asking both to suggest three new names and election symbols for their respective parties by Monday. Yes, and the Commission will allow them to use either of the names and symbols suggested by both factions.
