The election organization awarded the name of the party and its “clock” symbol at the camp led by the nephew of Pawar Senior, Ajit. The EC also gave a unique dealership to the faction led by Sharad Pawar to select a new name and a new symbol for the party for the next Rajya Sabha elections for six seats in the Maharashtra on Wednesday at 4 p.m. This occurs almost a year after the EC recognized the faction led by Eknath Shinde of the SHIV Sena as an official Shiv Sena, in one blow to Uddhav Thackeray.

(The) Commission maintains that Jit Pawar is the party of the nationalist congress and has the right to use its name and its reserved symbol of “the clock”, ” Footprint Cited the order ECI saying. Reactions to the ECI order The SHARAD PAWAR faction of the PCN has described the order of ECI a “murder of democracy”. “We all know that NCP was formed by Sharad Pawar and that he was the president of the party. But in this way, the decision taken, due to pressure, is a murder of democracy. This is regrettable, “said Anil Deshmukh, a member of the Sharad Pawar camp, in the media. The deputy of the NCP and the daughter of Sharad Pawar, Supriya Sule, said that the decision of the electoral organization was the “victory of invisible power”. “This is a huge conspiracy against the Maharashtra and the Marathi people.

What is the following for Sharad Pawar? Sharad Pawar’s camp said he would approach the Supreme Court against ECI’s decision. Sule said the faction led by Shiv Sena, led by Uddhav Thackeray, faced the same situation. “I think what happened with Shiv Sena happens to us today. So this is not a new order.

Jayant Patil, president of the Maharashtra of the Sharad Pawar group, said that the decision of the electoral commission was contrary to an order from the Supreme Court in a related question. “The Supreme Court (in the past) said that even if the deputies change their loyalty, the party does not follow them. Despite this, the ECI gave a decision based on elected representatives and their inclination, “he said, according to PTI. Although the Battle of the Supreme Court can have been pulled for a long time, the first task of Sharad Pawar Faction is to declare a new name and a new symbol for the party. The ECI told the group led by Pawar to claim a name and provide three choices to the body. If they do not file a request at 4 p.m. on February 7, their deputies will be considered as self -employed, reported Theprint. About NDTV Sources, the veteran chief is likely to finalize a name for the party with the word “nationalist”. “Shows”, “Rising Sun” and “Sunflower” are some of the options for the new symbol of the party. The “rising sun”, the “wheel” and the “tractor” were other options considered, Indian Express reported. Sule said they will make a decision in the case on Wednesday. The Sharad Pawar camp is also confronted with the challenge of ensuring that people, especially in rural areas, are aware of its new name and new symbol with only months for the elections of Lok Sabha and the surveys of the State Assembly. While Sharad Pawar remains a key element of the opposition block in India, his negotiation power during the seats sharing talks could take a hit after the ECI decision, according to NDTV. His camp should continue to ally with the Congress and Shiv Sena (UBT) led by Thackeray in the Maharashtra. Meanwhile, the judgment of the Pleadyers of disqualification against the deputies of the two NCP factions is before the president of the Assembly of the Maharashtra, Rahul Narwekar, who has not yet announced his verdict. The hearing in the case culminated on January 31, while the decision is expected before February 15. With agency entries
