Uddhav Thackeray Shiv Sena Symbol: In Maharashtra, ever since the Eknath Shinde faction broke ties with Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena, there has been a ruckus in the politics there. one side Eknath Shinde Became the Chief Minister of Maharashtra and yesterday i.e. on Friday (February 17) took the bow and arrow as the election symbol of the party. So on the other hand, Uddhav Thackeray is still in a dilemma regarding the election symbol of his party. It seems that after the bow and arrow, the torch symbol is also going to go from his hand as a party has staked claim on it.
The first thing is that Uddhav Thackeray’s party Shiv Sena Balasaheb Thackeray’s name and his election symbol torch will be used only till the assembly by-elections in Maharashtra. Its decision has been taken by the Election Commission. Elections are to be held on the seats of Kasba Peth and Pimpri Chinchwad on February 26 and Thackeray’s army will not be able to use the name or symbol after that. The second thing is that the Samta Party has also staked its claim regarding the torch election symbol and has also lodged an objection.
What does Samta Party have to say?
According to the news of TV9, one of the reasons for Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena not getting the torch election symbol has also been that the Samata Party has once again staked its claim on it. Party’s National General Secretary Kailash Jha has once again written a letter to the Election Commission. In this, the party has demanded to give the torch symbol to him. Samta Party demands that this election symbol was theirs and hence it should be returned to them. In this letter, the party has told the Election Commission that after the decision taken on February 17, there is no problem in giving the torch election symbol to the Samata Party again.
Shiv Sena has changed its symbol many times
Shiv Sena was born in the year 1968. Then its election symbol used to be a roaring lion. After this the shield sword election symbol was used. Shiv Sena fought the election with many election symbols like rising sun, shield, sword and bow and arrow. In the 1978 assembly elections, the railway engine election symbol was allotted to Shiv Sena, but now it is the official election symbol of Raj Thackeray’s party Maharashtra Navnirman Sena.
