A major political development has unfolded in New Delhi as reports suggest heightened activity around the Shiv Sena (UBT) split, with claims of a formal merger process involving rebel Members of Parliament and the Eknath Shinde-led faction. According to sources, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla was present in his chamber as key political meetings were underway inside the Parliament complex. Unconfirmed but widely circulated inputs indicate that the group of rebel MPs—previously associated with the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena faction—may have already initiated procedural steps toward recognition of a separate parliamentary alignment. Some reports further suggest that documentation and consent letters were submitted as part of the internal process. Simultaneously, senior leaders from the Uddhav Thackeray camp, including Sanjay Raut, Anil Desai, and Arvind Sawant, were seen arriving at the Speaker’s office to present their side and seek procedural clarity regarding the status of their party’s parliamentary representation. While multiple media inputs claim that discussions related to merger and alignment with the Shinde faction may have progressed significantly, no official confirmation has been issued by the Lok Sabha Secretariat or by any of the political parties involved. The reported sequence of events remains based on internal sources and requires formal validation. According to political observers, if such a realignment is officially recognized, it could represent one of the most significant parliamentary shifts in recent Maharashtra politics. However, leaders across both factions continue to maintain strategic silence pending formal announcements from constitutional authorities. At this stage, the situation remains fluid inside Parliament, with attention focused on the Speaker’s next procedural step and possible official statements from key political stakeholders.
