Disband Election Commission of India, demands Thackeray

Mumbai, Feb 20 : In a stunning statement, former Maharashtra Chief Minister and Shiv Sena (UBT) President Uddhav Thackeray said the party name-symbol verdict of Election Commission of India (ECI) was unacceptable, and demanded that the ECI must be disbanded, here on Monday.

Thackerays shocker came at a media conference when he termed the ECI ruling of last Friday as incorrect and said his party has challenged it in the Supreme Court Monday.

Such undemocratic decisions cannot be made on the basis of money-power.Its an unconstitutional verdict.

We demand that the ECI should be dissolved, an impartial EC should be appointed and till then its work should be handled by the Supreme Court, roared Thackeray.He termed the latest political developments as the Bharatiya Janata Partys strategy to systematically destroy the Shiv Sena for which it had contracted (Chief Minister) Eknath Shinde.

Last Friday, in a hard hit, the ECI had declared the faction led by CM Shinde as the real one and awarded it the original partys name Shiv Sena and election symbol of Bow-and-Arrow, sparking howls of protests from the Thackeray side.A livid Sena (UBT) Chief Spokesperson and MP Sanjay Raut claimed on Sunday that an amount of over Rs 2000 crore was spent to grab the name-symbol and warned of exposing more on this in the coming days #Disband #India #Thackeray #Telugu #TeluguStop #Mumbai # Uddhav Thackeray #Maharashtra #Mumbai #Democratic #Photo.
