Shiv Sena minister Gulabrao Patil claimed that Operation Tiger 3.0 had begun and 14 Shiv Sena (UBT) MLAs would soon join Eknath Shinde’s party.
The claim came two days after a Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) meeting chaired by Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray, where only 37 of the alliance's 60 legislators were present.
