Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray said no one should use Balasaheb Thackeray’s name after the rebel group led by Eknath Shinde announced that they would name their group Shiv Sena Balasaheb.<\/p>\n
“Some people are asking me to say something but I have already said that the rebel MLAs can do whatever they want to do, I won’t interfere in their matters.<\/p>\n
They can take their own decision, but no one should use Balasaheb Thackeray’s name,” Uddhav said. The national executive of the party which met on Saturday amid the escalating crisis passed a resolution to not allow the use of the name ‘Shiv Sena’ and ‘Balasaheb Thackeray’ by any group.<\/p>\n
The party will be approaching the Election Commission in this regard he said.\u201cSeek votes in your father’s name, not Balasaheb’s, Uddhav ji said,\u201d Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut said after Saturday’s meeting. Shiv Sena will approach the Election Commission against the use of the name Sena and Balasaheb Thackeray by any party.<\/p>\n
The election commission will decide on who would use the party symbol and party name. Shinde has the numbers and Uddhav has the legacy.<\/p>\n
