Pune, Maharashtra: Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Chief Sharad Pawar remarked on the loss of the "bow and arrow" symbol of his ally Uddhav Thackeray faction on Friday, stating that it would not have any major impact. He also stressed that the people would accept the new symbol. Mr Pawar's remarks came after Election Commission of India (ECI) ordered that the party name "Shiv Sena" and the party symbol "Bow and Arrow" will be given to the Eknath Shinde faction. The NCP chief asked Mr Thackeray to accept the Election Commission's decision and take a new symbol. "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," Mr Pawar said. He recalled the Congress having to change its symbol from two bullocks with a yoke to hand and said that the people would accept the new symbol of Uddhav Thackeray faction like the way they accepted the Congress' new symbol. "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 said. In a major setback to the Uddhav Thackery faction of Shiv Sena, the Election Commission of India ...

Pune: Union Minister Amit Shah on Saturday said those who chose to "lick the soles" of people with opposite ideologies have found which side truth was on after the Election Commission declared the faction headed by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde as the real Shiv Sena and gave it the 'bow and arrow' symbol. Shah also said the Bharatiya Janata Party's ideological bases were being completed under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, adding the Centre was "moving in the direction of the Common Civil Code". Without naming Uddhav Thackeray, Shah, who was speaking at the launch of Marathi version of the booked 'Modi@20', also reiterated there was no agreement on sharing the chief minister's post in the run up to the 2019 Assembly polls. The Shiv Sena broke its alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party after the results of the 2019 Assembly polls were declared claiming the latter had reneged on a promise to share the CM's post with it. Uddhav teamed up with the Nationalist Congress Party and the Congress to lead the Maha Vikas Aghadi, till it fell in June last year after Shinde rebelled. "Yesterday, the Election Commission did 'doodh ka doodh, pani ka pani' (bring out absolute truth). Yesterday, the term 'satyamev jayate' (truth always triumphs) was characterised," Shah said in the presence of CM Shinde and Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis. The Election Commission (EC) on Friday allotted the name 'Shiv Sena' and its poll symbol 'bow and arrow' to the group led by CM...

The Election Commission order allocating the Shiv Sena name and symbol to the breakaway Eknath Shinde-led faction is a big blow to the Thackerays, the founders and, for almost all of its existence, the first family of the party. Ever since its birth on June 19, 1966, till Shinde took away a large chunk of the party in 2022, the Sena’s identity was patriarch Bal Thackeray; his fiery image coalescing with the Sainiks’ identity as an organisation not averse to taking the law into their own hands for the party’s cause. The ‘bow and arrow’ symbol or “dhanush-baan”, with its link to both Chhatrapati Shivaji (from whom the Sena draws its name) and Hindutva imagery, completed the picture. Son Uddhav Thackeray already had big shoes to fill following his father’s demise, with the That had taken the first blow when Shinde took away 40 Sena MLAs, causing the Sena-NCP-Congress government to fall, as well as entire local units with him. Just as Uddhav had steadied the ship, fighting off the charge that he had “betrayed” Hindutva and hence Balasaheb by going to the other side, comes the Election Commission order. Will the Sainiks who had retained the faith in the Thackerays despite the upheaval continue to do so, given the official stamp on the Shinde faction, is a question weighing on everyone’s mind.

In a four-page letter to the EC, the party has said that it should be allotted the trishul (trident) even if it is not in the list of free symbols, adding that it is not used by any recognised state or national party. “It is submitted that the current free symbols available in the list of free symbols are not at all reflective of the ideology, ethos and principles of Shiv Sena party and, as such, cannot be an appropriate vehicle/ symbol to depict the aspirations and the values of the political party,” says the letter.
