MUMBAI: Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray has said that no one can take away the ‘bow and arrow’ party symbol from him and that if the rebels felt they were right, then they would have to face the midterm polls.
In a presser at his residence, Uddhav said constitutional experts told him that the legislature party and political party are two separate entities. “Some MLAs might have left us, but that will not have an impact on the registered party. Earlier too, some MLAs had left us, but the party symbol remained with the original Sena,” said the former CM.
Uddhav’s response came amid rebel Shiv Sena leader Gulabrao Patil’s assertion that most party MLAs and corporators were with the dissident group. “They (the dissidents) are the natural claimants of the party symbol,” he said.
He said the Supreme Court’s decision is important for Sena as much as for the nation “if we want to protect democracy.”
