Speculation is rife regarding a potential split within Shiv Sena (UBT), with reports suggesting at least six Lok Sabha MPs are planning to defect to Eknath Shinde's faction, potentially ahead of the party's foundation day on June 19th. Some sources claim these MPs are being offered significant sums, while others assert that all party members remain united. While some leaders like Sanjay Raut strongly deny any impending split, citing the party's history and unity, other reports suggest a significant shift in loyalty is underway, fueled by internal meetings and external political maneuvering.
