Maharashtra politics is witnessing another dramatic twist, with reports suggesting that six Shiv Sena (UBT) MPs could soon switch allegiance to the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, potentially reshaping the state's political landscape. According to reports, the rebel MPs are expected to seek recognition as a separate parliamentary group by submitting a letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla. If the move materialises, it would mark another significant setback for Uddhav Thackeray's faction while strengthening the NDA's numbers in Parliament. The developments come amid growing speculation surrounding "Operation Tiger," with claims that more leaders from the Uddhav Thackeray camp may be considering a switch. Shiv Sena MP Naresh Mhaske has alleged increasing dissatisfaction among MPs, MLAs, corporators and party workers over the current leadership, saying questions about repeated exits should be directed to Uddhav Thackeray.
