Ahead of the Monsoon Session of Parliament, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla approved the merger of six Shiv Sena (UBT) MPs with the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena. The move raises the Shinde faction's strength in the Lok Sabha to 13 MPs, making it the largest NDA ally from Maharashtra and dealing a major setback to Uddhav Thackeray. The development comes amid the all-party meeting and speculation over key constitutional bills in the upcoming session.
