7th MP backed out over cabinet post demand: Ramdas Kadam claims after six Sena UBT MPs joined Shiv Sena
Eknath Shinde said the six lawmakers joined after a 2022 revolt, while the Shiv Sena (UBT) said it lost 6 of its 9 Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra.
- On Monday, six Lok Sabha MPs from the Shiv Sena formally joined the ruling Shiv Sena led by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde in Mumbai, marking a significant setback for the Uddhav Thackeray camp.
- Shinde welcomed the six defectors, declaring "Operation Tiger is now complete and successful," and described the new members as "dhurandhar," or seasoned leaders strongly connected to grassroots constituencies.
- The Shinde faction's Lok Sabha tally rose to 13 MPs, while the Uddhav Sena's strength fell to three after only three MPs attended the UBT parliamentary party meeting last week.
- Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit labeled the MPs "traitors," arguing they betrayed the mandate for which they were elected to oppose the government, while the UBT initiated disciplinary proceedings against them.
- Shinde continues consolidating power, noting his 2022 revolt brought 40 MLAs to his side, with party leadership claiming this latest expansion reflects growing support for its development agenda.
