MUMBAI: With the Election Commission setting up the next date of hearing in the battle in between the Shiv Senas Uddhav Thackeray and Eknath Shinde factions to January 30, there is a question mark on Uddhavs extension as Sena president since his 5-year term ends on January 23.
The Sena (UBT) had sought the ECs nod to hold its organisational elections or advertisement interim permit the current structure to continue, but the poll panel did not provide any order throughout its hearing on Friday.
However, senior leader Anil Parab said Uddhav would remain the president for celebration employees and his term ending on January 23 was only a legal and constitutional formality.
This suggests that technically, his term will end on Monday.Uddhav was chosen the president by the Senas nationwide executive in January 2018.
He initially took charge as the party chief on January 23, 2013, after the death of his father, Sena founder Bal Thackeray, in November 2012.
Parab stated all arguments had concluded and composed submissions might be made till January 30 after which the EC would offer its order on the real Sena.
We do not need any legal permission to accept that Uddhav is the party president.
Just the legal process is to be completed.
It might get done when the decision is taken by the EC, he said.CM Eknath Shinde stated the EC would take a choice as per law.
The Sena internal elections are to be held to abide by the ECs regulations to political celebrations to hold organisational surveys.
The Sena (UBT) had actually liquified the post of executive president which Uddhav had actually held throughout Balasahebs lifetime before he ended up being the paksh pramukh (party president).
The national executive is the Senas highest choice making body and is headed by its president.Meanwhile, striking out at Shinde, Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray stated, All of Maharashtra understands who Shiv Sena belongs to.
The Shiv Sena comes from Hinduhriday samrat Shiv Sena pramukh Balasaheb Thackeray, party president Uddhav Thackeray and all people Sainiks.
The decision will be in our favour as truth will prevail.
But how long will the unconstitutional CM and the government continue? Even if of one guys demonic aspirations, all this is happening.
This federal government itself is unlawful.
