Uddhav Sena MPs likely to join Shinde camp on Shiv Sena's foundation day: Sources

Political activities surrounding ‘Operation Tiger’ has intensified in Maharashtra. According to sources, seven Members of Parliament (MPs) from the Uddhav Thackeray faction may soon join Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena. It is reported that on June 19—the occasion of Shiv Sena’s foundation day—these MPs will first form a separate faction and subsequently merge with the Shinde-led Shiv



Sena.

Such speculation has been rife over the past few days, and leaders from the Shinde faction have also claimed to be in contact with the seven MPs.

Amid intense speculation that some Shiv Sena (UBT) MPs might switch sides, party chief Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday held a meeting of his faction's Lok Sabha MPs, which all nine lawmakers attended either virtually or in person.
