Speeding bus mows down pedestrian at MG Road more, driver flee
The Lok Sabha Secretariat has allotted the Shiv Sena office in the Parliament House to a faction led by Eknath Shinde after the Election Commission decided to recognize the group as the real Shiv Sena.
Responding to a letter written by Shinde faction leader Rahul Shewalae, the Lok Sabha Secretariat said that the reserved room for the Sena office in the Parliament building has been allotted to the party.
A poll panel last week recognized the Shinde faction as the original Shiv Sena, allowing it to use the "bow and arrow" symbol in elections - effectively denying Uddhav Thackeray a claim to the party founded by his father Bal Thackeray in 1966.
Then on February 18, Shewale wrote to the Lok Sabha Secretariat requesting the allotment of office for the party. So far, both factions have been using the Shiv Sena office in the Parliament building.
