Amit Shah lauds EC for declaring Shinde-led faction as 'real' Shiv Sena

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday reacted to the decision taken by the Election Commission and claimed the constitutional body has established the difference between truth and lie by recognising the Eknath Shinde-led faction as the 'real' Shiv Sena.

Interestingly, on Friday, in a big blow to former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, the EC allotted the name 'Shiv Sena' and its poll symbol 'bow and arrow' to the group led by CM



Eknath Shinde. 

This is for the first time that the Thackeray family has lost control of the party that was founded in 1966 by Balasaheb Thackeray on the principles of justice for the sons of the soil.

Meanwhile, while addressing an event in Pune, he said, "The Election Commission established the difference between truth and lie yesterday. The formula of 'Satyameva Jayate' became significant yesterday."
