Difficult To Take Hold Of Shiv Sena Property By Shinde Faction?

  Election Commission has gifted the party name and symbol to the Shind faction but getting control of Sena Bhawan, Samna, the party fund, will be a difficult task for the Shinde faction source says. The Bhawan is the property of Shiv Sewa Trust controlled by Subhash Desai, a loyalist of the Uddhav Thackeray family and other trustees are also with the Uddhav faction source says. The Samna weekly is published by Prabodhani Prakashan. The shakhas are controlled by local heads or by trusts in the name of the local in charge and are not Shiv Sena property source says. EC has given control of the name and symbol of Shiv Sena but the groups controlling other factions, properties are with the Uddhav faction and legally these are having different sanctity source says. Going by the above factors it seems that unless other legal remedies are not obtained by the Shinde faction the control over these important segments of Shiv Sena will remain with the Uddhav Thackeray faction source says. BJP local leaders are also agitating against candidates proposed to be fielded by the Shinde faction in coming BMC elections source says. With manoeuvering Uddhav Thackeray MVA government was brought down source says. The strength of Shiv Sena has been divided still Uddhav Thackeray faction is likely to challenge strongly with the new name, symbol and legacy of Bal Thackeray source says.
