Eknath Shinde faction has sent 3 new election symbols to the Election Commission (EC) regarding the Andheri assembly by-election in Mumbai. A day earlier, the Election Commission had rejected his 3 symbols including the gada (mace). The final decision is expected on Tuesday.
The EC has named the Eknath Shinde faction as Balasahebanchi Shiv Sena and the Uddhav Thackeray faction as Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray). Thackeray’s party has been alloted the torch symbol.
According to sources, the names sent by the Shinde faction include the Sun, Peepal Tree and Shield-Sword. The name will be alloted after thorough investigation and in accordance with the List of Free Symbols.
The EC refused to allocate religious symbols when the Shinde faction asked for mace and trident, earlier.
