Maharashtra’s 2 Shiv Senas get new names

The Shiv Sena faction led by former chief minister Uddhav Thackeray will be called "Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray)". The party’s election symbol will be a flaming torch. Download ECI Letter.PDF

Similarly, the rival faction led by  present chief minister Eknath Shinde will be called "Balasahebanchi Shivsena". But it's three choices for an election symbol were rejected because two of them, Trishul and Gadha, had religious connotations and the third option, Rising Sun, was already allocated to DMK. So, they have been told to revert with three more options by 10am Tuesday. Download ECI Letter.PDF
