Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar said he has never seen the election commission taking such a decision. He was referring to the judgement of awarding the Shiv Sena name and symbol to the faction led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
"How can the Election Commission give total control to some other party? Never seen the EC takeaway total control of one party," Pawar told reporters.
असे निकाल यापूर्वी कधी झाले नाहीत. पक्षात फूट पडली म्हणून सबंध पक्षच कोणी काढून घेतला असे कधी घडले नाही. यामागे कुठली तरी शक्ती अथवा मार्गदर्शन असल्याची शक्यता नाकारता येत नाही. हे ज्यांनी केलंय त्यांना आज ना उद्या, संधी मिळेल तेव्हा लोक निर्णय घेऊन धडा शिकवतील.

The matter is going on in the Supreme Court where Thackeray and team have contended that the EC has failed to consider that they enjoy majority in the Legislative Council and Rajya Sabha.
The Commission gave away its decision based on the purported legislative majority of the Shinde group, which is "not a safe guide". The Thackeray faction said, whether the Shinde group will retain its numbers is an issue to be determined by the top court in the Constitution Bench.
