Amid rebellion in the Uddhav Sena, Sanjay Nirupam on Friday claimed that 15 to 16 MLAs from Uddhav Thackeray’s faction would soon join Eknath Shinde’s party. Sanjay Nirupam said, “This is our Operation Tiger in Nagpur. Hundreds of people are joining the Shiv Sena under Shinde’s leadership every day. Shinde’s leadership is very engaging. He communicates directly with each worker. Development is his main agenda. He is very accessible to people. That’s why workers like him.”
