Speculation of a fresh political rebellion within Shiv Sena (UBT) has intensified after Shinde Sena MLC Krupal Tumane claimed that seven MPs from the Uddhav Thackeray camp could join the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena. Sources have also indicated that 14 to 16 MLAs may be reassessing their political future. While no MP or MLA has officially announced a switch and no formal split has been recognised, reports of meetings in Delhi, difficulties in contacting some MPs, and the confidence displayed by the Shinde camp have heightened political intrigue. For Uddhav Thackeray, the developments could have significant implications for the party's strength and future direction.
