Only 3MPs attend Delhi meeting amid split speculation
Maharashtra politics
Political uncertainty is looming large once again for the Shiv Sena (UBT).
Only three MPs were present at an important parliamentary meeting held in New Delhi.
The low turnout has made people wonder about a possible split in the party.
According to sources, six Lok Sabha MPs are planning to form a new group.
Afterward, they will join the Shiv Sena led by Eknath Shinde.
Yet, no information about it has been received so far.
A three-line whip was issued by the Uddhav Thackeray camp.
All the nine MPs in the Lok Sabha were ordered to attend the meeting.
This important meeting was held in the Old Parliament House.
Sanjay Raut, a Rajya Sabha MP, sent a clear message.
Attending MPs were loyal to the party, whereas others were traitors.
Anil Desai, Arvind Sawant, Rajabhau Waje, and Sanjay Raut participated in the meeting.
Records of attendance have been duly kept in the meeting.
No member of the alleged rebel party was seen at the meeting.
The scenario mirrors the 2022 revolt led by Eknath Shinde.
The revolt caused a split in the original Shiv Sena Party.
The rebellion changed the political map of the state of Maharashtra.
Analysts of the political scene hold that the leader of Shiv Sena faces a difficult task.
This is because it is approaching its 60th birthday amidst challenges.
