What's covered under the Article:

  1. Six of nine Shiv Sena MPs from Uddhav Thackeray’s camp are considering joining Eknath Shinde’s faction in Maharashtra.
  2. The move, reportedly part of ‘Operation Tiger,’ could weaken Uddhav Thackeray while strengthening the NDA alliance.
  3. The political realignment reflects ongoing internal tensions within Shiv Sena and reshaping of Maharashtra’s political landscape.

In a major political development in Maharashtra, six out of nine MPs from Uddhav Thackeray's faction of Shiv Sena are reportedly considering shifting allegiance to the camp led by Eknath Shinde. This move, part of a strategy being referred to as ‘Operation Tiger,’ could significantly alter the state's political landscape by further weakening Uddhav Thackeray’s leadership and strengthening the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).

The political shift comes at a time when internal rifts within Shiv Sena continue to widen. Ever since Eknath Shinde broke away from Uddhav Thackeray’s leadership in 2022, forming a faction that aligned with the BJP-led NDA, the division within Shiv Sena has been a major factor in Maharashtra’s political dynamics. If these six MPs officially switch sides, it could consolidate Shinde’s control over the party while leaving Thackeray’s faction in a weakened position ahead of upcoming elections.

Reports suggest that the MPs contemplating defection are doing so due to dissatisfaction with Thackeray’s leadership and concerns over their political future. Given Shinde’s growing influence within the state government, many believe that aligning with him would provide better political prospects.

This development has sparked speculation about whether more leaders from Uddhav’s camp could follow suit in the coming months. The fluid nature of alliances in Maharashtra suggests that further realignments and political maneuvering are likely as all factions prepare for the next state and general elections.

With Maharashtra being a key battleground state, this shift could have a significant impact on upcoming electoral equations. As the situation unfolds, the balance of power within the state will continue to evolve, reshaping Maharashtra’s political future.
