Shiv Sena (UBT) has expelled Krishna Nagesh Patil, son of rebel MP Nagesh Bapurao Patil Ashtikar, for alleged anti-party activities. This follows Maharashtra Minister Pratap Sarnaik's claim that six UBT Sena MPs are set to join the Eknath Shinde-led faction, significantly boosting their parliamentary strength. The defecting MPs have reportedly submitted a letter to the Lok Sabha Speaker, a move welcomed by the Shinde camp.
