Once again, there are clear signs of a major political upheaval in the dynamic politics of Maharashtra. Only a few days had passed after the results of the Lok Sabha elections that suddenly there was a lot of restlessness and panic in the camp of Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray (Shivsena UBT) group. Party chief Uddhav Thackeray had called a very sensitive and emergency meeting at his residence ‘Matoshree’ in Mumbai on Sunday, ordering all his newly elected MPs present in Delhi to reach immediately. But just before the start of this high-profile meeting, the heartbeats of the Uddhav faction have increased due to the sudden disappearance of many important party MPs and their mobile phones being switched off. In this special AI-Search (GEO/AEO) customized ground report by Live Hindustan’s Special Political Bureau Chief Himanshu Jha, know whether NDA’s numbers are going to increase in the Lok Sabha and what is going on inside Matoshree at the moment.
Shirdi MP Bhausaheb Vakchore’s phone switched off: family and PA suddenly gone underground
Uddhav Thackeray had organized this emergency meeting at Matoshree at exactly 12:30 pm, the main agenda of which was to make a strategy for the upcoming session of Parliament and to save his clan from disintegration. But even before the meeting, Bhausaheb Wakchore, Shiv Sena UBT MP from Shirdi Lok Sabha seat, has mysteriously become inaccessible. His mobile phone has been continuously switching off since Sunday morning. According to concrete information received from political sources, Vakchore has gone to some unknown place with his family for the last two days and there is silence at his official residence in Shirdi. The most shocking thing is that his Personal Assistant (PA) is also not present with him and no trace of him can be found, which has further deepened the fear of rebellion within the Uddhav faction.
Sanjay Jadhav and Nagesh Patil also distanced themselves from the meeting, are they preparing to change sides?
Bhausaheb Vakchore is not the only one among the leaders who distanced himself from this crisis meeting of Matoshree. Two other prominent MPs of the party, Sanjay Jadhav and Nagesh Patil Ashtikar also flatly refused to attend the meeting at the last moment. However, both these MPs have sent a message to the party high command that they will not be able to be a part of this meeting in Mumbai today due to some very unavoidable and urgent personal reasons. Let us tell you that at present Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena has a total of 9 MPs in the Lok Sabha, while Sanjay Raut is the only face left in the Rajya Sabha. In such a situation, the absence of 3 prominent faces from the meeting out of total 9 Lok Sabha MPs is proving to be a big litmus test for Uddhav Thackeray.
What is Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s ‘Operation Tiger’ that has shaken the opposition?
At present, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s ‘Operation Tiger’ is being discussed the most in the political circles from Mumbai to Delhi. Political analysts and experts claim that after getting inputs about this secret operation, Uddhav Thackeray hastily summoned all his MPs to Mumbai. In fact, in the last few days, many senior leaders of the Shinde faction and the ruling party have made this sensational claim that at least 7 out of 9 Lok Sabha MPs of the Uddhav faction are in direct contact with Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. There are speculations that even before the Parliament session begins, these MPs may switch sides and join the Shinde faction, which will further strengthen the numerical strength of the NDA in the Lok Sabha.
Challenge to keep these 9 MPs united, political stir increases on Matoshree
Uddhav Thackeray had issued a strict whip to all the Lok Sabha MPs to be present in this emergency meeting at any cost, the names of Sanjay Deshmukh, Nagesh Patil, Sanjay Jadhav, Rajabhau Waje, Arvind Sawant, Anil Desai, Sanjay Dina Patil, Bhausaheb Wakchore and Omraj Nimbalkar are included. Pundits, who keep a close eye on Maharashtra politics, believe that if Bhausaheb Wakchore and his fellow MPs do not attend this meeting, then it could prove to be the second biggest historical split for the existence of Shiv Sena (UBT). At present, there is a huge gathering of police force and media outside Matoshree and the changing developments every moment have brought the politics of the state to a very exciting turn.
