UBT Crisis Deepens as Raut Claims Rebel MPs Got More Cash and Moved to Safe Location

The crisis within Shiv Sena (UBT) has intensified after Sanjay Raut alleged that rebel MPs were given additional money and moved to a secure location in Rajasthan. Addressing a press conference in New Delhi, Raut claimed the dissident lawmakers had earlier received Rs 15 crore each and were later given another Rs 10 crore. He also alleged that the MPs were under police protection and demanded that such security be withdrawn. The remarks came after six of the party's nine Lok Sabha MPs skipped a crucial parliamentary party meeting, fuelling speculation of an imminent shift to Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena.
