Maharashtra Legislative Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar on Tuesday said the Election Commission's decision to allot the 'Shiv Sena' name and its symbol to the faction led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde is a "prospective" decision and not restropective, reported the PTI.

Speaking to reporters in Mumbai after a meeting with officials at Vidhan Bhavan, Rahul Narwekar said that the decision on disqualification of 16 MLAs including CM Shinde will start from the point of which faction was representing the actual Shiv Sena in July 2022, as per the PTI.
