ठाकरे गटाची धाकधूक वाढली? शिंदे गटाच्या वकिलाचा तोडीस तोड युक्तिवाद; थेट निवडणूक आयोग….

According to TV9 Marathi, the legal battle over the Shiv Sena party symbol continues to intensify, with the Shinde faction presenting its arguments before the Election Commission of India. Senior advocate Neeraj Kishan Kaul, representing the Shinde faction, emphasized that the internal structure of the party lacked democratic processes, citing specific flaws in the 2010 party constitution as a primary point of contention.

Kaul further argued that the decision to form alliances with traditional political opponents served as a catalyst for the internal rebellion that eventually led to the split within the party. The legal team focused on the authority of the Election Commission to intervene in such disputes, asserting that the commission has the mandate to recognize the faction that maintains the original party's foundational principles.

This hearing is part of a broader, long-standing dispute between the rival factions of the Shiv Sena. The outcome of these proceedings is expected to have significant implications for the political landscape in Maharashtra, as both sides continue to claim legitimacy over the party's legacy and symbols. The Election Commission is currently reviewing the submissions from both parties before reaching a final determination.
