A significant political split in Maharashtra’s Shiv Sena deepens as six MPs defect to Eknath Shinde’s faction, marking a formal division and a major blow to the Uddhav Thackeray-led camp.
The move raises serious questions about Uddhav Thackeray’s leadership, the future of Shiv Sena UBT and whether more defections could follow. With the Shinde faction gaining strength, Maharashtra’s political landscape is set for another round of realignment, alliance calculations and power shifts.
