Shiv Sena (UBT) Faces New Rebellion; 'Operation Tiger' May Boost Shinde's NDA Position

The Shiv Sena (UBT) is facing a fresh rebellion as several MPs are rumored to be defecting to the Eknath Shinde camp, prompting the party to issue a whip and approach the Lok Sabha Speaker. This 'Operation Tiger' revives memories of the 2022 rebellion and could significantly boost the NDA in the Lok Sabha, potentially increasing the Shiv Sena's tally to 13 and strengthening Deputy CM Eknath Shinde's political clout within the NDA and Maharashtra's Mahayuti alliance.
