Six Members of Parliament from Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) faction have been provided with Y-Plus security cover. This development comes amid concerns of potential defections.
In a significant security development, six Members of Parliament belonging to the Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) faction have been granted Y-Plus security cover. This measure is reportedly in response to perceived threats.
The decision to enhance the security of these lawmakers comes shortly after reports of potential shifts in political alliances within the party. One prominent leader from the faction, Sanjay Raut, has alluded to the security upgrade being part of a larger political strategy, which he termed 'Operation Tudva'.
Further details regarding the specific nature of the threats or the exact timeline of the security deployment were not immediately available. The report also mentioned the postponement of an event where these MPs were expected to join the Shinde faction, though this event's cancellation is a separate development from the security allocation.
