Mumbai, Feb 20 (IANS): In a stunning statement, former Maharashtra Chief Minister and Shiv Sena (UBT) President Uddhav Thackeray said the party name-symbol verdict of Election Commission of India (ECI) was "unacceptable", and demanded that the ECI must be 'disbanded', here on Monday.

Thackeray's shocker came at a media conference when he termed the ECI ruling of last Friday as "incorrect" and said his party has challenged it in the Supreme Court Monday.

"Such undemocratic decisions cannot be made on the basis of money-power... It's an unconstitutional verdict. We demand that the ECI should be dissolved, an impartial EC should be appointed and till then its work should be handled by the Supreme Court," roared Thackeray.

He termed the latest political developments as the Bharatiya Janata Party's strategy to systematically destroy the Shiv Sena for which it had contracted (Chief Minister) Eknath Shinde.

Last Friday, in a hard hit, the ECI had declared the faction led by CM Shinde as the 'real' one and awarded it the original party's name Shiv Sena and election symbol of Bow-and-Arrow, sparking howls of protests from the Thackeray side.

A livid Sena (UBT) Chief Spokesperson and MP Sanjay Raut claimed on Sunday that an amount of over Rs 2000 crore was spent to grab the name-symbol and warned of exposing more on this in the coming days.

    Opposition parties and people are increasingly becoming victims of unjust and anti constitutional ruling of electorate and justice system. When people have nowhere to go to get justice then the only option left for them is to revolt which leads to civil war. People now have a lot of pent up anger against the ruling govt and it’s corrupt practices which is reflected in BJP leaders having highest security apparatus in the world.

    This Man will lose Shiv Sena Bhavan and even Matoshree, the birth place of the Shiv Sena if he rants like this. Siding with Pawar and the Congress,having different ideology, for CMs post has taken it's toll. He has gone bonkers!!Has become the laughing stock of Maharashtra and will soon go into oblivion.
