Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena (UBT) in split mode again but numbers still unclear

The Shiv Sena, once a powerful force in Maharashtra politics, is again facing internal strife as a faction led by deputy chief minister Eknath Shinde claims six rebel MPs from Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena (UBT) have signed a letter to form a separate group. This development highlights the ongoing power struggle within the party, raising questions about its future and influence in state politics. The exact numbers and support remain unclear, but this division could impact Maharashtra's political landscape, especially with state elections on the horizon.
