'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 the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena is the sole remaining party, stating, "There is only one Shiv Sena."
- The declaration follows a rebellion within the UBT Sena, where six of nine Lok Sabha MPs skipped a mandatory parliamentary meeting on Thursday and requested Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla recognize them as a separate bloc.
- UBT Sena Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut issued show cause notices to absentee MPs, threatening disqualification under the Tenth Schedule of the Indian Constitution with a strict 24-hour deadline for written explanation.
- Only three of the party's nine Lok Sabha MPs—Arvind Sawant, Anil Desai, and Rajabhau Waje—attended the meeting, while the remaining six rebels are expected to join the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena.
- During the same Kolhapur rally, Shah emphasized a cultural renaissance under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of "Vikas Bhi, Virasat Bhi," noting ongoing renovation work on the Mata Ambabai temple in Maharashtra.
