Accept and take a new symbol: Sharad Pawar tells Uddhav Thackeray on 'bow and arrow' loss

Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar asked former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray to “accept and take a new party symbol”, after the Election Commission ordered that the party name ‘Shiv Sena’ and symbol ‘bow and arrow’ will be given to the Eknath Shinde faction. It is not going to have any major impact as people will accept.” Recalling how the Congress also had to change its poll symbol many years ago, Pawar said people would accept the new symbol of the Uddhav Thackeray faction like the way they accepted the Congress' new symbol. The infighting in Shiv Sena, which led to the downfall of the Maha Vikas Aghadi led by Uddhav Thackeray and eventually Eknath Shinde assuming the top leadership of Maharashtra, has now seen Shinde’s claim on Shiv Sena’s name and symbol having been cleared by the autonomous poll panel too.
