Shiv Sena UBT MPs News Live Updates: Uddhav loyalist MPs meet Speaker, ask him not to entertain any breakaway group

"Uddhav Thackeray, Sena (UBT) workers have toiled hard to ensure the victory of the MPs. Resign if you want to switch sides," said Raut as he lashed out at rebels.

Uddhav loyalists MPs meet Speaker: Amid growing buzz over a possible rebellion in Shiv Sena (UBT), Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut, along with Lok Sabha MPs Arvind Sawant and Anil Desai, met Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla today. Following the meeting, Desai told the media that they had urged Birla not to entertain any breakaway group. The Sena (UBT) leaders had earlier written to the Speaker, requesting him to deny recognition to the rebel MPs.

Sanjay Raut’s ‘Rs 15 crore’ MP buyout charge: Sanjay Raut today drew a parallel with the recent dismantling of the Trinamool Congress (TMC), and said there is no point in contesting elections if parties like TMC and Shiv Sena (UBT) are split. Alleging that the Maharashtra MPs were being bought at Rs 15 crore, Raut said the people of the state will not remain quiet if the party’s 2022 split. “Uddhav Thackeray, Sena (UBT) workers have toiled hard to ensure the victory of the MPs. Resign if you want to switch sides,” said Raut as he lashed out at rebels.

Sena (UBT) urges Speaker Om Birla to deny recognition to rebel MPs

Amid reports of a possible rebellion by a section of its Lok Sabha MPs, the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) has written to Speaker Om Birla, urging him not to recognise any breakaway faction of the party in Parliament, arguing that the Constitution no longer provides legal recognition to a “split” in a political party.

The move is being seen as a pre-emptive attempt by the Shiv Sena (UBT) to block any repeat of the 2022 Eknath Shinde-style rebellion before rebel MPs formally approach the Speaker seeking recognition in the House.
