Shiv Sena passes resolution to stop anyone from using Balasaheb Thackeray's name

Shiv Sena has passed a resolution to stop anyone from using Balasaheb Thackeray's name. The resolution was passed at a national executive meeting chaired by CM Uddhav Thackeray.

The national executive meeting of the Shiv Sena, chaired by Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, has passed a resolution to stop Eknath Shinde and rebel MLAs from using party founder Balasaheb Thackeray's name.

Shiv Sena, which is battling rebellion, will approach the Election Commission to ensure that Balasaheb's and party's name is not used by any other faction.

There were reports that rebel MLAs led by Eknath Shinde had decided to name their group as ‘Shiv Sena Balasaheb’.

The party's national executive has also authorised Uddhav Thackeray to take decisions regarding the organisation in view of the rebellion by Shinde. Along with Shinde, another disgruntled party leader and former minister Ramdas Kadam, is expected to face action. Both of them are members of the national executive. Kadam's son, MLA Yogesh Kadam, has joined the rebel camp in Guwahati.
