Uddhav Thackeray's Biggest Crisis? 6 Sena (UBT) MPs Reportedly Move Towards The Shinde Faction

A fresh political storm has erupted in Maharashtra, and the Shiv Sena split saga may be entering a dramatic new chapter. Three years after Eknath Shinde's rebellion reshaped Maharashtra politics, Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena (UBT) is once again facing a major internal crisis. Sources claim that six of the party's nine Lok Sabha MPs have approached Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, seeking a merger with the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena. The development has triggered panic within the Uddhav camp, with emergency meetings, party whips, and allegations of political pressure dominating the headlines. Sanjay Raut has accused rival forces of using money power and central agencies to lure MPs, while Arvind Sawant has urged the Speaker not to recognise any split. Meanwhile, Shinde Sena leaders argue that the rebellion is the result of growing dissatisfaction among MPs within the Uddhav camp. Will this become Shiv Sena Split 2.0? Can Uddhav Thackeray stop another exodus? What does this mean for Maharashtra politics, the NDA's numbers in Parliament, and the future of the Thackeray faction?
