‘Operation Tiger’ sparks panic in Sena (UBT) as six MPs skip emergency meeting in Delhi

Speculation of a fresh insurgency within the Shiv Sena (UBT) has intensified after six Lok Sabha MPs skipped a key parliamentary party meeting in Delhi. The party issued a compulsory whip and the MPs’ absence fueled rumors of a possible defection to the Shiv Sena faction led by Eknath Shinde. Party leaders warned of disciplinary and legal action, while the Congress accused the BJP of engineering defections for political gain. The political battle over the alleged ‘Operation Tiger’ has now sparked a major showdown in Maharashtra politics.
