The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Monday allotted new names to both factions of the Shiv Sena—helmed by Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde and his predecessor Uddhav Thackeray—before Mumbai's East Andheri Assembly seat bye-election. It is an interim measure until the ECI decides on the "real" Shiv Sena. Earlier, the ECI froze the party's original name and "bow and arrow" symbol.
