Shiv Sena (UBT) leader threatens rebel MPs amid internal dispute
Sanjay Raut announced disqualification of six rebel MPs who missed a parliamentary party meeting, while BJP minister Girish Mahajan warned of factional splits within the party.
Six rebel MPs did not attend the Shiv Sena (UBT) parliamentary party meeting held that day at its office in the Parliament complex, according to newsable.asianetnews.com. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut said the rebel MPs have violated the party whip, that legal action will be taken against them, and that all the rebel MPs will be disqualified and no one can save them.
Raut also warned that public backlash will await the leaders once their power diminishes, as reported by the Times of India. He called Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde a dishonest leader who betrayed the party and compared Shinde to West Bengal's Suvendu Adhikari, noting that both make provocative statements while in power.
BJP Minister Girish Mahajan said he has repeatedly told Shiv Sena‑UBT president Uddhav Thackeray that keeping Sanjay Raut close to him is like a human bomb, according to The Hindu. Mahajan added that the Shiv Sena (UBT) is getting split or people are leaving because of Sanjay Raut's blabber.
