Shiv Sena writes to EC against use of Balasaheb Thackeray's name by Rebel MLAs

After the national executive meeting chaired by Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray passed resolutions against Eknath Shinde and rebel MLAs, Shiv Sena wrote to the Election Commission (EC) to ensure that Balasaheb Thackeray's name is not used by the Shinde camp, sources informed.

In a letter to EC, the Uddhav faction stated that "no one has the right to use the name of Balasaheb Thackeray and Shiv Sena". This development comes after sources informed that the rebel brigade is likely to identify themselves as 'Shiv Sena - Balasaheb Thackeray'
