Maharashtra CM's son and Kalyan Lok Sabha MP Shrikant Shinde welcomes SC 's decision on 'Shiv Sena symbol row'

KALYAN: Maharashtra chief minister Eknath Shinde's son and Kalyan Lok Sabha MP Dr Shrikant Shinde welcomed Supreme Court's decision over Shiv Sena symbol row on Tuesday.

In a big relief for Eknath Shinde faction, the Supreme Court on Tuesday set aside stay on proceedings before the Election Commission of India in ‘real’ Shiv Sena symbol case.

The court has given permission to the ECI to conduct the proceedings with regards to who is the ‘real’ Shiv Sena.

Welcoming Supreme Court's decision, Dr Shrikant Shinde said, "Today's decision of the Supreme Court is a victory of democracy. Hope today's decision of the Supreme Court will open the eyes of the opponent. Hope the opponent now will understand who is the real Shiv Sena of Bala Saheb. We have majority of more than 75 percent of MLAs, MPs, Public representative in civic bodies, zila parishad, office bearers and workers which shows who is real Shiv Sena".

Dr Shinde further said, "Now we will put our stand firmly in the Election Commission and hope in ECI also we will win the case in a democratic way".
