Sources say Shiv Sena UBT may split within a week, with 14 to 16 MLAs possibly switching sides.The development adds a fresh twist to Maharashtra’s political churn, coming amid speculation around Operation Tiger and possible movement from Uddhav Thackeray’s camp. If the switch happens, it could significantly weaken the UBT faction’s legislative strength and strengthen the rival camp’s claim in state politics.The focus now shifts to Uddhav Thackeray’s next move, Eknath Shinde’s silence, and whether the numbers being discussed can trigger a larger realignment in Maharashtra. n18oc_indian18oc_politicsn18oc_breaking-newsNews18 Mobile App – https://onelink.to/desc-youtube
