__________ was named as the new Shiv Sena president at the party national executive meeting in Mumbai in 2023.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Eknath Shinde.
In 2023, Eknath Shinde was appointed as the new president of Shiv Sena during the party's national executive meeting in Mumbai. This development followed a significant political crisis in Maharashtra in 2022, where Shinde led a faction that split from the original Shiv Sena, resulting in the formation of a new government in alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The Election Commission of India later recognized Shinde's faction as the official Shiv Sena, granting them the party's name and the 'bow and arrow' symbol.
