India’s Shiv Sena party, led by Uddhav Thackeray, is bracing for a potential fracture as reports indicate six of its nine Members of Parliament may defect before the party’s foundation day. The potential defections stem from internal disagreements and perceived lack of influence within the coalition government. Sources suggest these MPs are considering joining the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). This move would significantly weaken the Shiv Sena’s position in the national parliament and could destabilize the Maharashtra state government, which relies on a coalition. Party leaders are reportedly attempting to persuade the dissenting MPs to remain, but the outcome remains uncertain. The defections, if confirmed, would represent a major setback for Thackeray, who has struggled to maintain party unity since losing power in Maharashtra last year. The situation is developing rapidly and is being closely watched by political analysts.
