Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut said the party is still standing despite splitting in 2022 amid reports of party leaders defecting. "Split happened before in Shiv Sena but we're still standing. In 60 years our party has suffered many such wounds," he added. This comes after reports claimed Shiv Sena was poaching Shiv Sena (UBT) MPs under 'Operation Tiger'.
