Six Sena MPs join Shinde camp; political fallout ensues
Six Lok Sabha MPs from the Uddhav Thackeray faction of the Shiv Sena have joined Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena, an event dubbed 'Operation Tiger.' This move has triggered political fallout, with the split reaching Parliament where the Speaker is set to hear the Thackeray faction's position. The Shinde camp framed this as a successful move, while Uddhav Thackeray's side saw a veiled attack from Sanjay Raut, who called for a fight against 'traitors.' Some defecting MPs cited issues like harassment and lack of support for their previous leadership as reasons for switching sides. A minister also hinted at further defections involving BMC and MLAs.
