Among them are Sena (UBT) MP Arvind Sawant, deputy leader Sushma Andhare and MLA Bhaskar Jadhav, among other leaders, following complaints by Dattaram Gavas, an activist of Shinde`s Balasahebanchi Shiv Sena.
We are happy that the three names that matter to us most Uddhav, Balasaheb and Thackeray - are retained in the new name, Thackeray loyalist and former Maharashtra minister Bhaskar Jadhav said
The Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena has started exploring options for its new party symbol after the poll body barred both the Thackeray and Eknath Shinde factions from using the party name and election symbol. Trishul, rising sun, and mashaal are among the options being explored.
Kesarkar strongly objected to a tweet by the Thackeray faction on the poll plan saying that EC is an independent body and tweeting against it is not right.
A special debate was initiated by the leader of opposition in the state assembly Ajit Pawar who claimed that while farmers are left neglected the ministers were busy in their felicitations.
