‘Operation Tiger’ Buzz: Shinde Camp’s Delhi Meetings Spark Political Speculation in Maharashtra

Reports of outreach by the Shinde-led Shiv Sena have intensified political chatter, with claims that several MPs from the ठाकरे camp are in contact, though no official confirmation has emerged.

New Delhi | March 19, 2026: Political circles in Maharashtra are abuzz with speculation following reports of increased activity by the Shiv Sena faction led by Eknath Shinde, with what is being informally referred to as ‘Operation Tiger’ gaining traction in discussions.

According to sources, Shinde has been holding a series of meetings in New Delhi, sparking curiosity about possible political realignments. The development has led to claims that as many as eight Members of Parliament associated with the faction led by Uddhav Thackeray are in touch with the Shinde camp.

While these claims have not been officially confirmed, they have triggered intense debate within political and media circles. Leaders from both factions have refrained from making definitive statements, adding to the intrigue surrounding the developments.

Political observers believe that the meetings in Delhi could be part of broader रणनीती discussions ahead of upcoming electoral challenges. The possibility of shifts within party ranks, if true, could have significant implications for Maharashtra’s political landscape.

The term ‘Operation Tiger’, though unofficial, is being used in political circles to describe alleged efforts to consolidate support and possibly attract leaders from rival factions. However, no concrete evidence has been presented so far to substantiate the claims.

Leaders close to the ठाकरे faction have dismissed the reports, stating that such claims are speculative and politically motivated. On the other hand, members of the Shinde camp have maintained that routine political meetings should not be misinterpreted.

Experts point out that such developments are not uncommon in a politically dynamic state like Maharashtra, where alliances and equations often shift in response to evolving circumstances.

As the situation unfolds, all eyes remain on further developments and any official statements that could clarify the nature of these meetings. For now, the reports continue to fuel political speculation without any formal confirmation.
