Another split in Uddhav Thackeray Sena? MPs in Delhi, Eknath Shinde too
Speculation is mounting regarding a potential split within the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) party, with reports suggesting several MPs may break away to join Eknath Shinde's faction. The party leadership has urged the Speaker to reject any breakaway attempts as internal tensions rise.
Why it matters
This potential defection could significantly alter the political landscape in Maharashtra and weaken the opposition's parliamentary standing.
Amid growing speculation about a group of MPs of the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) planning to break away , several of them reached Delhi on Tuesday while Deputy Chief Minister and Sena leader Eknath Shinde left for the national Capital late in the night, sources said. In response, MP Arvind Sawant, on behalf of the Sena (UBT), has written to Speaker Om Birla, urging him not to recognise any breakaway group of the party s MPs.
