Internal Division and Member Loss within the Shiv Sena (UBT) After Key Defections
關鍵成員倒戈後 Shiv Sena (UBT) 內部出現分歧與成員流失
Introduction
The Shiv Sena (UBT) is currently facing internal instability as several key members leave the party to join the faction led by Eknath Shinde.
Shiv Sena (UBT) 目前正面臨內部不穩定，由於多位關鍵成員離開該黨，轉而加入由 Eknath Shinde 領導的派系。
Main Body
The recent decision by MLC Sachin Ahir to join the Eknath Shinde faction has caused a period of intense review within the Shiv Sena (UBT). This move became official when Ahir was elected as the deputy chairman of the Maharashtra legislative council. Consequently, this departure has created frustration among long-term party members. For instance, Sunil Shinde and Kishori Pednekar emphasized that the party has given too much power and important roles to new members, while ignoring the contributions of loyal, veteran workers.
立法會議員 (MLC) Sachin Ahir 最近決定加入 Eknath Shinde 派系，導致 Shiv Sena (UBT) 內部進入了一段激烈的檢討期。當 Ahir 被選為馬哈拉施特拉邦立法會副議長時，此舉正式生效。因此，這次離開引起了長期黨員的挫折感。例如，Sunil Shinde 和 Kishori Pednekar 強調，該黨給予新成員過多權力與重要職位，卻忽略了忠誠資深黨工的貢獻。
At the same time, the Eknath Shinde-led group has increased its political power by attracting new members. This is clear from the addition of independent MLC Kiran Sarnaik, six former Shiv Sena (UBT) MPs, and BJP member Gokul Gite. This strategy, known as 'Operation Tiger,' is a deliberate effort to weaken the party led by Thackeray. In response, Sanjay Raut and Arvind Sawant have argued that the party needs to examine its own mistakes. They suggested that the high number of members leaving is a direct result of poor internal management and a gap between the leaders and the local workers.
與此同時，由 Eknath Shinde 領導的團體透過吸引新成員，增強了其政治權力。從獨立立法會議員 Kiran Sarnaik、六名原 Shiv Sena (UBT) 國會議員以及 BJP 成員 Gokul Gite 的加入即可見一斑。這個被稱為「老虎行動」的策略，是旨在削弱 Thackeray 領導之黨派的刻意舉措。對此，Sanjay Raut 和 Arvind Sawant 主張該黨需要審視自身的錯誤。他們認為，大量成員流失是內部管理不善以及領導層與基層黨工之間存在隔閡的直接結果。
Conclusion
The Shiv Sena (UBT) is struggling with both a loss of members and questions about its leadership, while the Shinde faction continues to grow stronger.
Shiv Sena (UBT) 正苦於成員流失以及對領導層的質疑，而 Shinde 派系則持續壯大。
