Shiv Sena (UBT) Moves Supreme Court Against Lok Sabha Speakers Nod To Merger Of Six MPs With Shinde Sena
Shiv Sena (UBT) moved the Supreme Court against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla's approval of six MPs' merger with the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena.
Senior advocate Devadatt Kamat sought urgent listing, arguing the merger stalled the party's functioning in Parliament during the Monsoon Session.
The six merged MPs are Sanjay Deshmukh, Sanjay Jadhav, Sanjay Dina Patil, Nagesh Patil-Ashtikar, Omprakash Rajenimbalkar, and Bhausaheb Wakchaure.
The merger leaves Shiv Sena (UBT) with only three Lok Sabha MPs, a significant setback for the Uddhav Thackeray-led party.
