Seven UBT MPs poised to join Shinde faction in final stage of 'Operation Tiger'

Shiv Sena leader Krupal Tumane has claimed that seven MPs from Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena (UBT) are in the final stages of joining Eknath Shinde's faction under 'Operation Tiger'. The move is expected to occur before the Monsoon Session of Parliament.

Tumane stated the defections would strengthen NDA numbers in the Lok Sabha. However, the UBT has dismissed these claims, insisting the party remains united despite internal challenges.
