Supporters of the Shiv Sena (UBT) protested here on Saturday against the Election Commission of India which has allotted the name `Shiv Sena` and its poll symbol `bow and arrow` to the group led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
The protesters accused the EC of acting at the behest of the Narendra Modi government. Shinde and Modi`s party BJP are the ruling partners in Maharashtra.
