The others are Sanjay Haribhai Jadhav, Sanjay Dina Patil, Bhausaheb Rajaram Wakchaure, and Sanjay Uttamrao Deshmukh.The move reduces Sena (UBT)’s strength in the House to just three MPs, while giving the rebels the two-thirds support required to bypass the anti-defection law and stake claim to recognition as a separate faction.(Developing story)Get the latest India news and live updates.
