Shiv Sena: Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray appeared on the offensive a day after Shiv Sena lost the battle of bow and arrow election symbol to Eknath Shinde. Former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray addressed workers from a car with a sunroof at his home Matoshree on Saturday (February 18). Calling for the next elections, he asked his workers to be ready. After which Uddhav Thackeray has now come under target of BJP.
Uddhav Thackeray’s speech is being compared to the speech given by Balasaheb Thackeray standing on the terrace in 1968. BJP’s Keshav Upadhyay took a jibe at Uddhav Thackeray and said that one cannot become Balasaheb by standing on the car. He tweeted that one has to work hard to become Balasaheb. Balasaheb worked day and night, fed the workers, built the organization, brought Shiv Sena to power, but now the organization of the party has been ruined.

‘We will not sit peacefully till we teach a lesson’
Uddhav Thackeray had said in his address on Saturday that we will not sit peacefully till the thieves are taught a lesson in the elections. He said that the thief has thrown a stone at the bee hive, but he has not experienced the sting of the bee. Uddhav said that Shinde has stolen the bow and arrow, but just as Ravana could not lift the bow of Shiva, similarly Shinde will not be able to lift the stolen bow and arrow. Uddhav said, ‘The thief wants Thackeray’s name, Balasaheb’s photo, but not the Shiv Sena family.’
Decision in favor of Shinde faction
The Election Commission on Friday (February 17) ruled in favor of Eknath Shinde faction of Shiv Sena and said that it will be known as Shiv Sena . The Election Commission’s decision has made it clear that Shiv Sena’s party name, ‘bow and arrow’ election symbol will remain with the Eknath Shinde faction. The battle between Uddhav and Shinde began with the rebellion of the camp of Eknath and his MLAs. Because of which the Uddhav government fell. Whereas, BJP Eknath Shinde was made CM and Devendra Fadnavis was made Deputy CM and kept the reins in his hands.
