Thackeray, Shinde to get new name and symbol

Who is the real Shiv Sena in Maharashtra, it will not be decided very soon, but it seems that soon both the factions of Shiv Sena will be temporarily allotted a new name and new election symbol as by-election has been announced for one seat in the state. Is. The Election Commission has announced by-elections for the Andheri East seat of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly. The notification will be issued this week and the nomination work will start. The last date for nominations is October 14. Before that both the factions would need a name and election symbol. The Supreme Court has given freedom to the Election Commission to decide who is the real Shiv Sena. But this work is not easy.

It takes a lot of time to make a final decision about any party. The Election Commission has to take care of the majority of the party’s MPs, MLAs and members of the Legislative Council as well as who is with the majority of the party’s office bearers and people associated with the organization. Matching everyone’s names and their signatures is a difficult task. It may also take five to six months. But before that the commission can allot the provisional name and symbol. So, both will get name and symbol for the by-election to Andheri East seat of Mumbai. Keep in mind that this seat was won by Ramesh Latke of Shiv Sena and due to his death this seat has fallen vacant. Hence BJP will not fight on this seat, rather it will support the Eknath Shind faction. On the other hand, Shiv Sena’s Uddhav Thackeray faction will field a candidate, who will have the support of the other two parties of Maha Vikas Aghadi, NCP and Congress. This election will be very interesting because soon the elections of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) are to be held. The Andheri East seat will be a rehearsal for that election. This will give an idea of ​​the strength of both the alliances.
