"Election Commission PM Modi's Slave": Uddhav Thackeray Scales Up Attack | Read

Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday raised the pitch of his attack on the Election Commission, a day after it awarded the Shiv Sena party name and bow-and-arrow symbol to his rival and successor Eknath Shinde. "The Election Commission, PM [Narendra] Modi's slave, has done something that has never happened before," he said, urging his supporters to be patient and prepare for the next elections - the high-stakes contest for Mumbai's civic body BMC. Mr Thackeray addressed a large crowd assembled as a show of strength outside Matoshree, the family home of the Thackerays.
