Uddhav Thackeray: What will be the name of the new party, what will be the torch symbol?; Uddhav Thackeray's struggle faces his biggest political challenge
1 / 9The Election Commission's decision recognising Maharashtra chief minister Eknath Shinde's faction as the real Shiv Sena by allotting it the party name and symbol is set to trigger a number of political developments, including a possible cabinet expansion.2 / 9The Uddhav Thackeray group will have to seek a new name. The EC had allotted Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) as the party name for Thackeray's group when the name and symbol were in dispute. However, in Friday's order, the commission said the group could use the name and the torch-flame symbol only till the Chinchwad and Kasba by-polls on February 27.3 / 9This will mean that the Thackeray group will have to go for another name and symbol for their faction.4 / 9The Samata Party has petitioned the EC that the torch flame symbol belonged to it. The torch flame was one of the symbols of the Shiv Sena prior to the party adopting the bow-and-arrow symbol.5 / 9After the controversy over the symbol, the torch given to the Thackeray group by the Election Commission and the Shiv Sena name Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray were temporary. In the verdict given yesterday, the Commission has made it clear that this temporary name, symbol Kasba, Chinchwad will be used only till the by-elections are over.6 / 9The Thackeray group got the mashala in the temporary dispute.. they also accepted it with enthusiasm.. An Andheri by-election has also been contested on this symbol. The votes they got on this sign were also significant. Therefore, considering this, the Election Commission has fixed the torch symbol for him.7 / 9After the name and symbol of the party went away, Uddhav Thackeray again came out of Matoshree today and addressed the Shiv Sainiks. A large number of Shiv Sainiks had gathered outside Matoshree since this morning. Uddhav Thackeray came out with his family and in an open car to address them.8 / 9The politics of deceitful conspiracy is going on. The work of ending Shiv Sena is going on. But Shiv Sena cannot be eliminated. Uddhav Thackeray said that it takes a man to shoot the bow and arrow and now the battle has started. Also today I have nothing, but I am not tired, nor will I be tired.9 / 9The Election Commission's decision is a very dangerous decision in terms of democracy. The Prime Minister should announce from the Red Fort that the independence of the country is over, now we have started the Babandshahi. This decision is very unexpected. Granting state recognition to thieves is a blessing in disguise.
