Sena UBT MP Rajabhau Waje Reaffirms Loyalty to Uddhav Amid Defection Speculation

Shiv Sena UBT MP Rajabhau Waje arrived in Delhi on Wednesday and firmly rejected speculation about defecting to the Eknath Shinde camp, declaring unwavering support for Uddhav Thackeray. Speaking to reporters, Waje stated he has no contact with Shinde and remains committed to the Uddhav faction.

The statement comes as the party grapples with intensifying concerns over a possible split, allegedly dubbed 'Operation Tiger.' Shiv Sena UBT has called an urgent parliamentary party meeting in Delhi for June 18, directing all MPs to attend. Party sources indicated strict action may be taken against those who fail to show up, viewing absence as a potential sign of rebellion.
