'Only One Shiv Sena Now': Amit Shah's Dig at Uddhav Thackeray Amid Rebellion by 6 UBT Sena MPs
Six of nine Shiv Sena (UBT) Lok Sabha MPs seek separate recognition as Amit Shah says the party now has no rival faction.
- On Saturday in Kolhapur, Union Home Minister Amit Shah declared that only one Shiv Sena remains, led by Eknath Shinde, dismissing the Uddhav Thackeray-led faction. "There is only one Shiv Sena," Shah said.
- Tensions escalated Thursday when six of nine UBT Sena Lok Sabha MPs skipped a mandatory parliamentary meeting and submitted a letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla seeking recognition as a separate bloc.
- Responding to the absences, UBT Sena Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut issued show cause notices threatening disqualification under the Tenth Schedule of the Indian Constitution, giving rebels a 24-hour deadline to explain their conduct.
- Only three of the party's nine Lok Sabha MPs—Arvind Sawant, Anil Desai, and Rajabhau Waje—attended the meeting, while the remaining six are expected to join the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, which backs the BJP-led NDA.
- During the same Kolhapur rally, Shah emphasized a cultural renaissance under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of "Vikas Bhi, Virasat Bhi," highlighting ongoing renovation work on the Mata Ambabai temple in Maharashtra.
