Shiv Sena's Operation Tiger: Talks with Seven MPs Reach Final Stage

Shiv Sena's Strategic Moves Ahead of Monsoon Session

Kriapal Tumane, a member of the Shiv Sena MLC, has announced that discussions under Operation Tiger with seven MPs from the Shiv Sena (UBT) are nearing completion. He indicated that these MPs might join the faction led by Eknath Shinde before the upcoming monsoon session of Parliament. Speaking to a news outlet, Tumane stated, "Our talks with the seven MPs from Shiv Sena (UBT) have reached the final stage under Operation Tiger."

Medical Analogy for Political Maneuvering

Using a medical procedure as an analogy, the Shiv Sena leader explained that the process is almost complete. He compared it to a hospital visit for an operation, where initial tests are conducted, and results are awaited. "We are just finalizing the date for the procedure with the doctor, and it will happen on that day," he added, suggesting that developments are expected before the monsoon session.

Confidence in Joining the Party

Without divulging too many details, Tumane expressed confidence that the MPs would join their party. He remarked, "It is not appropriate for us to disclose all the information, but it is almost certain that they will align with us." He noted that discussions have been ongoing for several weeks and have now reached a critical phase. He emphasized that while these talks have been in progress for a month, they are now in the final stage.

Reactions from Shiv Sena (UBT)

This revelation comes after Sanjay Raut, an MP from Shiv Sena (UBT), firmly dismissed rumors related to Operation Tiger, asserting that the party remains united, strong, and intact. The discussions surrounding Operation Tiger are intensifying in Maharashtra, with speculation that seven out of nine MPs from UBT are in contact with Eknath Shinde's faction and are interested in joining.

Uddhav Thackeray's Response

In light of these developments, Uddhav Thackeray convened a meeting with the MPs of UBT. Following this, Raut announced that their party would initiate "Operation Wolf" in response.
