Lok Sabha Speaker recognizes defection of six UBT Shiv Sena MPs to Shinde faction

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has officially recognized six members of parliament from the Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray (UBT) faction as having joined the rival Shiv Sena faction led by Eknath Shinde. This formal recognition consolidates the Shinde faction's legislative standing and further marginalizes the UBT faction's influence within the national parliament.
