Sanjay Bandu Jadhav, the Shiv Sena (UBT) MP from Parbhani, skipped a meeting on Saturday called by party chief Uddhav Thackeray at his residence, Matoshree, amid growing speculation that the rival faction led by Eknath Shinde is attempting to lure him away. This marks the second time Jadhav has missed a meeting with Thackeray, having previously been absent during a session in Delhi while the Lok Sabha was in session. Sources within the party indicated that Jadhav's absence, along with that of his supporters, including Gangaprasad Anerao, the district chief, raised concerns about unrest in the party.
