A massive political crisis has gripped the Shiv Sena (UBT) as six of its nine Lok Sabha MPs skipped a crucial party meeting in New Delhi today, signaling an imminent split. Sources confirm that these dissident MPs have already submitted a proposal to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla seeking a merger with the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena. This potential mass defection marks a devastating blow to Uddhav Thackeray, who is now facing the threat of losing his parliamentary strength. As Sanjay Raut launches a fiery counter-attack, the political landscape in Maharashtra braces for another major restructuring of the Sena factions.
