He also criticised Maharashtra chief minister Eknath Shinde, accusing him of using the court and the Election Commission of India to take over the Shiv Sena party and symbol.In a recent interview, Raj Thackeray said, “I got my party and symbol through hard work, not by snatching it from anyone.”Reacting to Raj Thackeray’s statement, Shiv Sena minister Deepak Kesarkar defended CM Eknath Shinde, asserting, “CM Eknath Shinde has not snatched the party and symbol. He is a true follower of late Balasaheb Thackeray’s ideology, and that is why he got the party and symbol.”
