Pune: Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Chief Sharad Pawar remarked on the lack of the “bow and arrow” image of his ally Uddhav Thackeray faction on Friday, stating that it wouldn’t have any main influence. He additionally harassed that the individuals would settle for the brand new image. Pawar`s remarks got here after Election Commission of India (ECI) ordered that the social gathering title “Shiv Sena” and the social gathering image “Bow and Arrow” shall be given to the Eknath Shinde faction.
The NCP chief requested Thackeray to settle for the Election Commission`s choice and take a brand new image. “It`s the decision of the Election Commission. Once a decision is given, there can be no discussion. Accept it and take a new symbol. It (the loss of the old symbol) is not going to have any major impact as people will accept (the new symbol). It just would remain in the discussion for the next 15-30 days, that`s it,” Pawar mentioned.
He recalled the Congress having to change its image from two bullocks with a yoke to hand and mentioned that the individuals would settle for the brand new image of Uddhav Thackeray faction like the way in which they accepted the Congress` new image. “I remember Indira Gandhi also faced this situation. Congress used to have a `two bullocks with a yoke` symbol. Later they lost it & adopted `hand` as a new symbol & people accepted it. Similarly, people will accept the new symbol (of Uddhav Thackeray faction),” he mentioned.
In a significant setback to the Uddhav Thackery faction of Shiv Sena, the Election Commission of India (ECI) on Friday allotted the social gathering title “Shiv Sena” and the image “Bow and Arrow” to the faction led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. While the Shinde faction welcomed the choice of being acknowledged as the actual Shiv Sena, the Uddhav Thackeray faction mentioned they are going to transfer the Supreme Court.
Earlier, the Eknath Shinde faction burst crackers and celebrated in Nashik right now after the Election Commission order. The Uddhav Thackeray faction accused the Election Commission of haste and mentioned the choice reveals “it works as BJP agent”.
The Commission noticed in its order that the present structure of the Shiv Sena social gathering is undemocratic and has been “mutilated to undemocratically appoint people from a coterie as office bearers without any election at all”. It mentioned such social gathering constructions fail to encourage confidence.
Calling the ballot panel`s choice as “murder of democracy”, Uddhav Thackeray mentioned he’ll strategy the Supreme Court towards the choice. “They should first understand Balasaheb. They have come to know that `Modi`s face does not attract people in Maharashtra anymore so they have to put Balasaheb`s mask on their face for their own benefit. I had said that ECI should not give a decision before the SC verdict. If the party`s existence is decided based on the number of MLAs and MPs, any capitalist can purchase MLA, MP and become CM,” Uddhav Thackeray mentioned at a press convention.
He mentioned they’ve the help of individuals and will go to them. “We will surely go to the Supreme Court against this EC order. We are sure that the SC will set aside this order,” Thackeray mentioned.Shiv Sena was shaped by Uddhav Thackeray`s father Balasaheb Thackeray.Â
