Milind Deora, a former Congress MP, resigns from the party, sparking speculation about joining Shiv Sena. Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde responds positively, stating, "I will welcome him if he is joining the party." Deora's exit ends a 55-year family association with Congress. His decision is linked to a desire to contest from South Mumbai, conflicting with alliance preferences. Despite Congress downplaying the impact, Jairam Ramesh attributes the move to Prime Minister Modi. Sandeep Dikshit suggests "greed and fear" influenced Deora's choice. The political landscape awaits confirmation of Deora's reported shift to Shiv Sena.
