In a big blow to Uddhav Thackeray, the Election Commission on Friday allotted the party name and its poll symbol to the group led by Eknath Shinde, as the group enjoys the support of 40 of the 55 MLAs and 13 of the 18 Lok Sabha members.
The Supreme Court refused an urgent hearing of the petition filed by the Uddhav Thackeray faction of the Shiv Sena. In the plea, the faction challenged the Election Commission’s order on the “bow and arrow” symbol row. Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud refused the request for early listing and asked him to mention the matter on Tuesday as per the procedure.
