Shiv Sena (UBT) issues a whip to its MPs and convenes a parliamentary meeting in Delhi as speculation grows that some members may switch to the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena. According to Shiv Sena (UBT) leadership, the party is seeking to ensure its MPs remain aligned amid reports of internal political movement. Party leader Sanjay Raut alleges that attempts are being made to poach MPs through financial offers of ₹15 crore each. Raut’s claim adds to the tension surrounding the party’s parliamentary numbers. The Shinde camp, however, disputes the allegation’s framing and instead says that seven MPs are in contact with it. The developments are unfolding against the backdrop of ongoing claims and counterclaims about outreach to MPs, with the immediate focus on how the UBT leadership manages its caucus and whether any members formally shift allegiances. The whip and Delhi meeting are presented as steps taken by the UBT faction to address the situation and coordinate among its parliamentary representatives.
