Shiv Sena Faces Possible Blow as MPs Consider Defecting to Eknath Shinde-led Faction

The possibility of a big blow to the Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) under the'Operation Tiger ', which has become a topic of discussion in Maharashtra politics, seems to be getting stronger now. Speculations of 6 MPs from the Thackeray faction ignoring the party whip and joining the Shiv Sena led by Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde are almost certain. Among them, the name of Dharashiv MP Omraje Nimbalkar is considered the most prominent. Omraje Nimbalkar questioned the leadership of the Thackeray faction while clarifying his stance. He said that the leaders of the Mahayuti government are constantly reaching out to the workers and working actively. Omraje said, "Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde constantly go among the workers and work hard. Uddhav Thackeray cannot make frequent trips for health reasons, I can understand, but Aditya Thackeray should have been more active." Amid discussions of changing the party, Omraje Nimbalkar expressed his feelings. He also said that it is not an easy decision for him to take a big decision and that he is leaving the party. "I feel like a big crisis."
