Neither Uddhav Thackeray faction nor Eknath Shinde faction can use Shiv Sena symbol: Election Commission


Mumbai: The Election Commission has said that neither Uddhav Thackeray faction nor Eknath Shinde faction can use the Shiv Sena's 'bow and arrow' symbol until further orders. 

Four months ago Eknath Shinde took away the Shiv Sena numbers in Maharashtra assembly to replace Uddhav Thackeray as Chief Minister.

With this ruling, the Uddhav Thackeray faction will now have to use a different name and symbol in the forthcoming by-polls in Mumbai's Andheri East.

After the split in June, both the factions have been trying to be crowned the 'real Shiv Sena' and accusing the other of tainting Bal Thackeray's legacy.
