The Shiv Sena (UBT) split that could hand BJP a major win in Lok Sabha

The Shiv Sena (UBT) is facing a major internal crisis as 20 of its parliamentarians defected to join the BJP-led NDA, potentially splitting the party. This move could significantly bolster the BJP's presence in the Lok Sabha, India's lower house of parliament. The fallout from this defection is likely to shake up Maharashtra's political landscape, influencing state elections and national politics. The split reflects deeper fissures within the Shiv Sena, raising questions about Uddhav Thackeray's leadership and the party's future direction.
