"They suffered a massive jolt yesterday..." – Shinde’s sharp dig following 'Operation Tiger'

Mumbai: Chief Minister Eknath Shinde launched a scathing attack on the Shiv Sena (UBT) faction today, stating that they have yet to come to terms with the major setback they suffered yesterday. The actions taken by the Shinde faction under 'Operation Tiger' appear to have caused a stir within the Uddhav Thackeray camp.
Speaking to the media, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said, "They suffered a massive jolt yesterday... they are trying to recover now, but they have realized that the people are now with the real Shiv Sena."
What is 'Operation Tiger'?
Under 'Operation Tiger', the Shinde faction reached out to several Shiv Sena (UBT) leaders and even orchestrated defections in some areas. This campaign has dealt multiple blows to the UBT faction. Consequently, unease has grown within Uddhav Thackeray's party, with reports emerging that several leaders are holding secret discussions.
Eknath Shinde further remarked, "Those who caused the party's split are now facing the consequences of such defections themselves. With the people's blessings, we have revived the real Shiv Sena, and this momentum will not stop."
Shiv Sena (UBT) leaders have not yet issued an official response on this matter. However, party sources indicate that 'Operation Tiger' has fueled discontent among some of the party's senior leaders.
Political Analysis:
According to political experts, this jibe by Eknath Shinde is part of a strategy to keep the Shiv Sena (UBT) under constant pressure. The conflict between the two factions is likely to intensify in the run-up to the upcoming municipal elections.
This is a developing story, and all eyes are on the next set of developments.
