In a major political shift ahead of crucial electoral developments in Maharashtra, several leaders from the Eknath Shinde\u2013led Shiv Sena have crossed over to the Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray (UBT) faction. The move is being seen as a significant boost for Uddhav Thackeray as the party works to rebuild its grassroots network after the 2022 split.<\/p>\n\n

Leaders From Shinde Camp Switch Sides<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Among those who joined the UBT camp are:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • Shirish Kashinath Patil<\/strong><\/li>\n\n
  • Mayur Thakur (Deputy Division Chief)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n
  • Sandeep Salve<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    They were accompanied by a sizeable group of supporters, signalling dissatisfaction within sections of the Shinde-led faction.<\/p>\n\n

    The joining event took place in Navi Mumbai in the presence of:<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    • Uddhav Thackeray<\/strong>, Shiv Sena (UBT) President<\/li>\n\n
    • Subhash Desai<\/strong><\/li>\n\n
    • Rajan Vichare<\/strong><\/li>\n\n
    • Vitthal More<\/strong><\/li>\n\n
    • District Chief Prakash Patil<\/strong><\/li>\n\n
    • Several other senior office-bearers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      Party leaders described the development as a \u201cstrong message\u201d that grassroot-level workers continue to identify with the original Shiv Sena legacy led by Uddhav Thackeray.<\/p>\n\n

      Uddhav Thackeray Hits Out at Centre Over Sanchar Saathi App<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

      Meanwhile, speaking at his residence Matoshree in Bandra, Uddhav Thackeray launched a sharp attack on the Centre over mandatory installation of the Sanchar Saathi mobile application.<\/p>\n\n

      He alleged that the app is a \u201crebranded Pegasus-like spyware\u201d, accusing the BJP-led government of attempting to monitor citizens under the guise of digital safety.<\/p>\n\n

      \u201cThey have renamed Pegasus as Sanchar Saathi. They want to spy on the people who trusted them with their vote,\u201d<\/p>\n\n

      \u2014 Uddhav Thackeray<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

      Thackeray questioned why the government was prioritising digital surveillance when it had failed to explain security lapses like the Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 lives.<\/p>\n\n

      Centre Rejects Allegations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

      Responding to nationwide concerns, Union Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia clarified in the Lok Sabha that:<\/p>\n\n

        \n
      • The Sanchar Saathi app cannot be used for snooping<\/strong><\/li>\n\n
      • Users have full choice to delete<\/strong> the app<\/li>\n\n
      • If a user does not register, the app remains inactive<\/strong><\/li>\n\n
      • Government is ready to amend the installation order<\/strong> based on public feedback<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

        He emphasised that the app\u2019s purpose is to protect users from fraud, not to access their private messages or data.<\/p>\n\n

        Political Temperature Rises in Maharashtra<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

        With high-stakes local body elections approaching and alliances shifting rapidly, defections such as these point toward growing tensions within the Shinde-led faction. The UBT camp sees this as validation of its narrative that the \u201creal Shiv Sena\u201d remains rooted in the Thackeray leadership.<\/p>\n\n

        Political observers believe more crossovers may occur as the state heads into an intense political season.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
