Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde on Wednesday said that It's time to extinguish the 'torch of ego and arrogance' with the bow-and-arrow, in a subtle reference to the symbols of the Shiv Sena and the Shiv Sena (UBT), a group headed Uddhav Thackeray, reported the PTI.

The Shiv Sena under Uddhav Thackeray was split in 2022 after Eknath Shinde walked away with a majority of the party lawmakers and tied up with the BJP to form the government. The Election Commission later allowed his group to retain the name 'Shiv Sena' and its bow-and-arrow symbol, the news agency reported.
