Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has dismissed claims of defections within the Shiv Sena ranks as baseless. Contrary to reports of MPs from the Uddhav Thackeray-led faction joining Shinde's camp, Shinde categorically denied any such development.
'These rumors are being circulated just to create sensation,' remarked Shinde, directly addressing the buzz surrounding an alleged clandestine meeting with Sena (UBT) MPs in Thane.
Speculation had been rife about a potential split in the Sena (UBT), which currently has ten MPs, following Shinde's previous rebellion in 2022 that saw him depart from Uddhav Thackeray's leadership, gaining control of the party name and symbol.
