Maharashtra News | Inside Operation Tiger: 6 UBT MPs Join Shinde Camp Ahead Of Monsoon Session

A major political churn is unfolding in Maharashtra as six Shiv Sena (UBT) MPs have formally aligned with the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena faction. The move, reportedly codenamed "Operation Tiger," unfolded in multiple phases—from silent outreach and secret meetings to strategic coordination ahead of the Monsoon Session and Shiv Sena Foundation Day. The rebel MPs have met the Lok Sabha Speaker and submitted a letter seeking recognition as a separate group, setting the stage for a fresh political and legal battle within the Sena.
