Shiv Sena (UBT) is reportedly heading for another split, prompting the party to rush its top leaders to Delhi on Wednesday to meet Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla. The move comes amid sensing trouble within the party ranks, with speculations of a potential factional divide. Senior leader Sanjay Raut led the delegation to address the concerns and seek clarity on the party's position. The development has raised eyebrows in Maharashtra's political circles, as the Uddhav Thackeray-led faction already experienced a major split earlier when Eknath Shinde broke away. The meeting with Om Birla is seen as an attempt to consolidate support and prevent further erosion of the party's strength. Political analysts suggest that internal dissent and pressure from the central government could be contributing factors. The Shiv Sena (UBT) has been struggling to maintain its identity after losing power in Maharashtra, and this latest crisis could have significant implications for the upcoming elections.
