Taking potshots at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), he alleged that the Election Commission took a decision favouring the ones in power at the centre.
The Supreme Court today refused to stay the Election Commission's decision to give the party name "Shiv Sena" and the symbol "Bow and Arrow" to the faction led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
Expressing his 'disappointment' with the central institutions, Shiv Sena Uddhav Babasaheb Thackeray (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Tuesday, said that he considers Supreme Court as their only hope in ongoing Shiv Sena row.
Staying firm on his stand and terming Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde-led Balasahebanchi Shiv Sena faction as a 'Traitors faction', Thackeray said quoting "experts" that this matter of disqualification must be taken up on priority.
