Mumbai: Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Arvind Sawant on Saturday disputed the Election Commission’s claim that the amendments to the party constitution carried out in 2018 were not on its record.

While recognizing the faction led by Eknath Shinde as the real Shiv Sena, the EC on Friday said the Uddhav Thackeray faction relied heavily on the 2018 constitution to stake claim to the poll symbol and the organisation, but the poll panel had not been informed about these amendments.

“Minutes of the meeting and its proceedings along with a video were submitted to the commission on April 4, 2018 by party leader Anil Desai,” Sawant, MP from Mumbai South, told reporters.

“How can the poll body say it was not informed,” he asked.

The EC, in its order, also noted that the 2018 amendments undid the democratic norms introduced in the party constitution of 1999 at the instance of the Commission.
