Meanwhile, minutes after the announcement, Uddhav Thackeray called a press conference and said: “Shiv Sena will take its fight to the SC,” Thackeray said.
Soon after the Election Commission of India announced that the name and the bow and arrow symbol would go to Shiv Sena, BJP leader Nitish Rane posted a video mocking Uddhav Thackeray: “Please pass this with a smile. His baby penguin faces UT. Because I will be blocked.” This has been tweeted by Rane.
Please send this smiley face to his baby penguin at UT..
Because I will be blocked..Control nahi hota hai 😂🤣 pic.twitter.com/WVENFOFguf

Meanwhile, minutes after the announcement, Uddhav Thackeray called a press conference and said: “Shiv Sena will take its fight to the SC,” Thackeray said.
“The EC’s decision is unexpected. We have been fighting over this in SC for the last six months. I had earlier said that the EC should not announce its decision until the SC’s decision is announced. If the decision of who belongs to the party is taken on the basis of the total elected representatives of that party, tomorrow anyone with money can buy MLAs and take control of the party and become the Prime Minister of the country. Uddhav Thackeray said this in a press conference.
Criticizing the ECI, the Shiv Sena leader said: “Slamming the Election Commission, Uddhav Thackeray said, “Your decision was prejudicial and prejudicial, why did you ask for documents bearing the written signatures of our office bearers and lakhs of workers. It is a total lie. ECI has completely lost its credibility.”
He also called the Shinde camp thugs: “Whoever stole our name and symbol will not be able to keep it and digest it.”
It is not that easy to end Shiv Sena, he said. Attacking Prime Minister Modi, Thackeray said: “Let the Prime Minister declare that dictatorship has officially begun and democracy is over in India,” Uddhav Thackeray said.
“For some time they may have robbed the sign of the bow and arrow. The name of Sena Sena was withdrawn. But that will not make a difference,” Thackeray added.
“The torch (flaming torch) given to us has already been lit. The people of Maharashtra will now teach a lesson to those who betrayed us, said the former Chief Minister.
“Those in power have misused it for their own politics. They have disrespected the autonomous institutions. Well, we have nothing to complain about. We will take our battle in the court of the people. Thackeray said.
“Shiv Sena will fight its battle in SC,” Thackeray said. He also calls the Shinde camp a thug. Someone may have stolen our name and logo but they will not be able to keep it and digest it.
Appealing for media support, Thackeray said: “The entire opposition, various organizations and citizens who believe in democracy should unite in this fight against power,” says Uddhav Thackeray. Look at the raids against the BBC. I also appeal to the media to join the fight against injustice,” he said.
“Just as SC judges are appointed in consultation, I think now is the time for election commissioners to be appointed in consultation with opposition parties,” said Uddhav Thackeray.
Expressing confidence, Thackeray said: “Our soldiers are not tired at all. We will face them with renewed aggression across the state,” said Uddhav Thackeray.
“The way the EC has given the party symbol and the party name on the other side, I think this could be a foreshadowing of the corporation elections in a month or two. They want to take over Mumbai. They want to put a begging bowl in the hands of Mumbai and stand a geniculate in front of Delhi. They want to do this by giving the bow and arrow symbol to our opponents,” Thackeray said.
