Nashik MP Rajabhau Waje Reaffirms Loyalty to Uddhav Thackeray Amid 'Operation Tiger' Buzz

Nashik MP Rajabhau Waje has reaffirmed his unwavering loyalty to Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray amid intense political speculation surrounding 'Operation Tiger' in Maharashtra. He categorically stated that he would never abandon Thackeray and has had no contact with the Shinde faction. Waje was the only Lok Sabha member from outside Mumbai to attend a recent meeting personally called by the party chief.

Shiv Sena (UBT) currently has nine MPs. Speculation suggests that six MPs may defect to align with Eknath Shinde's faction and the ruling NDA. Despite facing challenges in securing development funds as an opposition MP, Waje has chosen to prioritize party loyalty over these difficulties, reinforcing confidence in his commitment to the Thackeray-led faction.
