NDTV
Asked about real and fake Shiv Sena in an exclusive interview with NDTV, Shrikant Shinde said, "I think today there are more than 50 MLAs under the leadership of Shinde Saheb. Everyone says that we are still in Shiv Sena. All are Shiv Sainiks and all belong to Shiv Sena".
Shrikant Shinde, Shiv Sena MP and the son of Maharashtra's rebel MLA Eknath Shinde, today skirted the issue of factions within the party. Asked about real and fake Shiv Sena in an exclusive interview with NDTV, he said, "I think today there are more than 50 MLAs under the leadership of Shinde Saheb. Everyone says that we are still in Shiv Sena. All are Shiv Sainiks and all belong to Shiv Sena".
Leaders in the Shinde faction are talking of calling themselves the "Shiv Sena Balasaheb Thackeray" and staking claim for the party symbol.
The Thackeray faction has already made a pre-emptive move, writing to the Election Commission against this.
