<h1>Shiv Sena (UBT) Eyes Leader of Opposition Role in Maharashtra Assembly, Citing Historical Precedents Despite Low Member Count.</h1> A political leader announced that his party, Shiv Sena (UBT), intends to claim the Leader of Opposition (LoP) position in the Maharashtra legislative assembly. Despite having only 20 members, he argued that the LoP role should not be vacant, citing historical precedents. The opposition coalition, Maha Vikas Aghadi, includes Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress, and NCP (SP), totaling nearly 50 members. The Congress has indicated it might seek the LoP position in the legislative council if Shiv Sena (UBT) claims it in the assembly. The budget session will occur from March 3 to 26.
