Bombay:
The Shiv Sena will contest around 50 seats in the upcoming Bihar Assembly polls, party MP Anil Desai said on Sunday.
Speaking to the PTI, Desai said the Shiv Sena had no alliance with any party for the polls in the eastern state.
“The Shiv Sena is vying for around 50 seats. We have presented our candidates in constituencies where our cadres are involved in public works, ”said member Rajya Sabha.
He also said that the symbol for the election of the Shiv Sena for the polls in Bihar will be a “man blowing the tura” (trumpet).
The Election Commission previously banned the Shiv Sena from using its “bow and arrow” party symbol in Bihar Assembly polls on the similarity to the “arrow” symbol of JD (U).
Asked about Maharashtra’s chief minister and Shiv Sena chairman Uddhav Thackeray’s schedule to campaign in Bihar, Desai said details would be provided by the party and the CM himself.
