Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief Eknath Shinde has intensified political speculation surrounding the reported "Operation Tiger" by taking a sharp swipe at the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) faction.
Maharashtra BJP leader Chandrashekhar Bawankule on Wednesday denied any connection between the BJP and reports of a possible split within the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT). His remarks came amid speculation that a section of Sena (UBT) MPs could break away and form a separate parliamentary group.
