While the Thackeray faction will be known as 'Shiv Sena Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray', the Shinde camp henceforth will be referred to as 'Balasahebanchi Shiv Sena', according to Election Commission's ruling.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) today approved new names for the two factions of the Shiv Sena, one headed by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and the other by his predecessor Uddhav Thackeray.
The Uddhav Thackeray camp of Shiv Sena submitted a list of three names and symbols for the upcoming Andheri East Assembly constituency bypolls to the Election Commission.
