Mumbai:<\/strong> In a development that could reshape Maharashtra\u2019s political landscape, six Members of Parliament from Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) have reportedly approached Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla seeking recognition as a separate parliamentary group, signaling a major split within the Uddhav Thackeray-led faction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to media reports, six of the party\u2019s nine Lok Sabha MPs have expressed dissatisfaction with the current leadership and are pushing for the formation of an independent bloc in Parliament. The move has fueled speculation that the rebel lawmakers could eventually align themselves with Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde\u2019s Shiv Sena faction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The reported decision has triggered alarm within the Uddhav camp. Shiv Sena (UBT) Parliamentary Party leader Arvind Sawant has written to Speaker Om Birla, urging him not to recognize any separate faction or merger attempt. Sawant argued that the dispute over the original Shiv Sena\u2019s identity remains under judicial consideration and that any such recognition could have serious political implications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut launched a sharp attack on the rebels, alleging that efforts were underway to weaken the party through what he described as \u201cOperation Tiger.\u201d He claimed that attempts were being made to lure MPs away from the Uddhav camp, though these allegations have not been independently verified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Political observers believe that if the six MPs formally break away and later join the Shinde-led Shiv Sena, it could further strengthen the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Parliament. The development is being viewed as one of the most significant challenges faced by Uddhav Thackeray since the dramatic Shiv Sena split of 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The reported rebellion comes at a sensitive time for Shiv Sena (UBT), raising questions about the party\u2019s future strength in Parliament and its role within the opposition INDIA bloc. A successful split could significantly reduce Uddhav Thackeray\u2019s influence at the national level and alter political equations in Maharashtra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With both camps mobilizing support, attention is now focused on the Lok Sabha Speaker\u2019s response and the next move of the rebel MPs, which could have far-reaching consequences for Maharashtra politics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mumbai: In a development that could reshape Maharashtra\u2019s political landscape, six Members of Parliament from Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) have reportedly approached Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla seeking recognition as a separate parliamentary group, signaling a major split within the Uddhav Thackeray-led faction.
