Speculation is rife regarding potential defections within the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena's corporators in the Mumbai civic body, following claims by a party leader.

Intensified speculation surrounds the Mumbai civic body regarding possible defections from the Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) faction. This comes after Shiv Sena leader Kiran Landge asserted that a significant number of corporators from the UBT Sena are reportedly in communication with the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena faction.

The claims suggest a potential shift in political allegiances within the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), mirroring recent political developments at the parliamentary level. The situation indicates growing uncertainty for the UBT Sena's strength in the local governing body.
