Leader from Shivsena and Former Mayor of Mumbai, Kishori Pednekar, in a recent media interaction slammed the Shinde faction and said that the party members who earlier assured to save the sena are the ones who have sold the sena today. The statement came amid the election symbol row, whereby both the factions – Shinde and Thackeray – submitted their symbols.

Bold statements regarding the political matters were made at the Dusshera rally where Pednekar participated and shared her thoughts on the order given by the Central Election commission.
A report regarding the same was published in the Free Press Journal which quoted Pednekar who said, "Shinde and his 40 accomplices have brought the shiv Sena to this level and Marathi Manoos is not going to spare them. Andheri Bypoll elections are about to happen. But people's anger will come out in voting of other elections too."
Meanwhile, the Uddhav Thackeray-faction, on Monday, October 10, 2022, revealed the party symbol, mashaal (torch), which brought an end to the ongoing Thackeray-Shinde fight claiming their power over Sena. As per reports, his party will be named ‘Shiv Sena Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray’ and Eknath Shinde’s party has been given the name of ‘Balasahebchi Shiv Sena’ which means Balasaheb’s Shivsena.
The Election Commission of India has also asked Shinde Faction to submit three options as symbols for their party. Sharing more details regarding the name, Deepak Kesarkar of Shinde faction said that their party was given the name of Balasaheb ever since the members were in Guwahati. With the ECI confirming the same, members are satisfied today and will decide the symbol over the next few days.
Meanwhile, Bhaskar Jadhav who supports Uddhav Thackeray also quipped that the party is happy and considers this a major victory.
Former Environment Minister and Uddhav Thackeray’s son, Aditya Thackeray, added, “We have got the mashal and I am sure we will be trail blazers. We have the name of Shiv Sena and Uddhav and Thackeray. We will take the name and symbol to people and get love from affection. They have been trying to steal our identity but how much can they do.”
