Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray on Monday asserted that his party would take legal action against the Election Commission once his alliance comes to power in the Centre.

“The party leaders should file the case against the EC and as the INDIA bloc comes power action will be taken,” he said.

Addressing the Shiv Sena (UBT) office bearers from across the Maharashtra presented at the “Nirdhar Melava” rally in Mumbai’s Worli, Mr. Uddhav warned the EC to correct errors in the voters’ lists, saying if it fails to do so, the Opposition will decide whether to oppose holding the local body elections or not.

The slew of allegations against the EC has surfaced in Maharashtra ahead of the upcoming local body elections. Several political parties accused the EC of “irregularities in voter lists” and “inaction against ruling party leaders for violations”.

After meeting EC along with his allies of Maha Vikas Aghadi, for the first time Shiv Sena (UBT) held a meeting with its office bearers to explain the alleged vote theft and irregularities in voters’ list.
