According to reports, the Maharashtra Home Department has instructed the state’s Director General of Police (DGP) to strengthen security arrangements for six MPs who are believed to be distancing themselves from the Uddhav Thackeray-led camp. The decision was reportedly taken following intelligence inputs suggesting potential security concerns surrounding the lawmakers. Sources indicate that the rebel MPs are expected to form a separate group and may formally align themselves with the faction led by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. The political buzz has intensified ahead of Shiv Sena’s foundation day celebrations, with speculation mounting that a significant announcement could be made in the coming days. Officials have reportedly been directed to provide Y-Plus category security and additional local protection to the concerned parliamentarians. The move follows heightened political rhetoric and public statements exchanged between leaders of the rival factions. The security upgrade highlights the seriousness with which authorities are viewing the situation as Maharashtra continues to witness another chapter of political turbulence. Analysts believe the development could have a significant impact on the balance of power within the state’s political framework and may influence future electoral calculations. While neither side has officially confirmed the final political move of the rebel MPs, the enhanced security arrangements have added further credibility to reports of an imminent split. All eyes are now on the next few days as Maharashtra’s political drama continues to unfold.
