Uddhav Sena Faction Faces Rebellion as MPs Join Rival Shinde Camp
Two Members of Parliament from the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena faction have announced their decision to join the rival Eknath Shinde camp. This move has led to a political crisis within the Shiv Sena (UBT), prompting Uddhav Thackeray to call an all-party meeting. The defections are being framed by some as "Operation Keechad" by the BJP, a charge denied by the Shinde faction.
