After ‘Operation Tiger’, why Shiv Sena chorus grows for Shrikant Shinde elevation
Several senior leaders of the Shiv Sena have called for Dr. Shrikant Shinde to take on a larger role within the party following the successful 'Operation Tiger', which saw six Uddhav Sena MPs join the faction led by his father, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. This marks a significant shift in party dynamics, as it is the first time since the split in June 2022 that such a demand has been publicly made. The push for Shrikant's elevation includes suggestions for him to become the national general secretary and lead the youth wing, Yuva Sena.
