#WATCH | The party, the leader & the dishonest group that bids Rs 50 cr for MLAs, Rs 100 cr for MPs & Rs 50 lahks to 1 cr to buy our councillors. How much it would bid to take our name & symbol, you decide? My info is Rs 2,000 Crores: Sanjay Raut, Uddhav Thackeray faction leader pic.twitter.com/QZBPnwtn7A

The Rajya Sabha member in his tweet said this is for the first time that such incident has taken place in the country.
मुझे यकीन है…
चुनाव चिन्ह और नाम हासिल करने के लिए अब तक 2000 करोड़ के सौदे और लेन-देन हो चुके हैं…
यह प्रारंभिक आंकड़ा है और 100 फीसदी सच है..
जल्द ही कई बातों का खुलासा होगा.. देश के इतिहास में ऐसा कभी नहीं हुआ था.@ECISVEEP @PMOIndia pic.twitter.com/qokcT3LkBC— Sanjay Raut (@rautsanjay61) February 19, 2023
This comes after the Election Commission of India (ECI) allotted the party name “Shiv Sena” and the symbol “Bow and Arrow” on Friday to Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
While the decision of the Election Commission of India (ECI) was welcomed by Shinde faction after being recognized as the real Shiv Sena, on the other hand Uddhav Thackeray faction said they will move the Supreme Court.
