Shinde Vs Thackeray: Shiv Sena was formed on 19 June 1966 by Balasaheb Thackeray. The election symbol of the 57-year-old party formed by the father has gone out of the hands of the Thackeray family. In the decision of the Election Commission of India, it was decided that instead of the Thackeray faction, the Shinde faction would have the official name Shiv Sena and the party’s election symbol ‘bow and arrow’. This has given a big blow to the Thackeray group. Even before this, there are many such political parties who have demanded the original election symbol after separation.
The Election Commission said that it has given the decision in favor of Shinde faction because of the support of 40 MLAs out of total 67 MLAs in the assembly. At the same time, the Shinde faction has more MPs in the Parliament. The commission said that 13 MPs are with the Shinde faction, while 7 are with Uddhav Thackeray. This is the reason why Shinde faction has been given the original election symbol and Thackeray faction’s 6 decades old symbol has been withdrawn.
