The political atmosphere in Maharashtra remains charged following reports of an alleged 'Operation Tiger,' which insiders claim could see a significant portion of the Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray faction defect to the ruling Shiv Sena. Despite these reports, Anil Desai explicitly rejected the narrative, labeling the chatter as baseless conjecture amplified by news outlets. He maintained that the upcoming parliamentary meeting in Delhi is a routine procedural event, noting that the issuance of a party whip is standard practice rather than a defensive maneuver against potential dissent.
Contradictory signals emerged from the Eknath Shinde camp, where MLC Chandrakant Raghuvanshi claimed that six MPs have already pledged their support to the Chief Minister. Raghuvanshi framed these moves as a pragmatic choice for representatives aiming to align with the state’s current power structure alongside the BJP. While the Shinde faction continues to project confidence regarding further defections, Uddhav Thackeray remains in close contact with his parliamentary team to monitor the situation. As of Thursday, no official confirmation of any breakaway has been provided by the MPs mentioned in the reports.
