Several MPs from Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) are reportedly in talks to join NDA ally and Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde's faction. Sources told NDTV that the MPs were unhappy over limited access to Uddhav and Aaditya Thackeray, lack of visits to their constituencies, and irregular internal meetings. They claimed requests for funds and organisational backing were not addressed.
