Sanjay Raut of Shiv Sena (UBT) dismissed rumors about a party division. He noted the rebel faction lacks the two-thirds majority needed for any defection attempt. Raut told India Today that Uddhav Sena has already alerted the Lok Sabha Speaker about alleged BJP pressure tactics targeting MPs. He voiced trust in the lawmakers and clarified their victories stemmed from Uddhav Thackeray’s campaign work, not backing from Prime Minister Narendra Modi or Home Minister Amit Shah.
