Uddhav Thackeray has emotionally proposed to step down as the president of Shiv Sena (UBT) amidst ongoing political tensions.
Eknath Shinde has indicated that there may be additional defections from the party, raising concerns about its stability.
In response to allegations regarding defections, Thackeray has called for 'Operation Lotus' to counter what he describes as 'Operation Tiger' aimed at luring away party MPs.
