Big upheaval again in Maharashtra politics? 8 MPs of Uddhav group secretly met CM Eknath Shinde

News India Live, Digital Desk: Once again a huge stir has started in the politics of Maharashtra. In the latest development, the news of 8 MPs of Shiv Sena (UBT) i.e. Uddhav Thackeray faction meeting Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has increased the political temperature. Since this ‘secret’ meeting, speculations are being made whether there is going to be another big breach in the Uddhav group? Although, no official statement has come out yet regarding the agenda of this meeting, but discussions are going on in the political circles. Midnight meeting or strategic meeting? According to sources, these 8 MPs of the Uddhav faction went to the Chief Minister’s residence and had a long discussion with Eknath Shinde. This meeting was kept very secret, but as soon as this news came out, there was panic in the Shiv Sena (UBT) camp. Political experts believe that this step can prove to be a big blow for Uddhav Thackeray before the upcoming elections. Are these MPs preparing to switch sides or was it just a formal meeting regarding the development work of the area, it still remains a big question. Claims of Shinde faction and silence of Uddhav camp. Sources close to Eknath Shinde say that many more leaders are in touch with him and they are impressed by Prime Minister Modi’s leadership and Shinde’s working style. On the other hand, there has been no sharp reaction yet on this issue from Matoshree (Uddhav Thackeray’s residence). However, party insiders say this could be just a rumor being spread to weaken the opposition. But 8 MPs meeting the Chief Minister together is not being considered a mere coincidence. The new equation of power in Maharashtra? If these 8 MPs actually change sides, then Uddhav Thackeray’s power from Parliament to the streets will reduce significantly. Maharashtra politics has already seen a lot of turmoil, and now this new twist could have a big impact on the outcome of the upcoming BMC and other local elections. At present, all eyes are on the next step of the MPs who held this secret meeting with Shinde. Is ‘Operation Lotus’ or ‘Shinde Magic’ going to happen once again in Maharashtra? This will become clear in the coming few days.
