Shiv Sena, which is battling rebellion, has also approached the Election Commission to ensure that Balasaheb's and party's name is not used by any other faction. "On account of the anti-party activities and conduct of MLAs under Eknath Shinde, which is designed to be detrimental to the interests of the Shiv Sena founded by Balasaheb Thackeray, we suspect that the delinquent MLAs will be trying to create confusion by establishing a new political party by misusing the name of 'Shiv Sena' or Balasaheb," the letter to EC said. There were reports that rebel MLAs led by Eknath Shinde had decided to name their group as ‘Shiv Sena Balasaheb’.
