Mumbai, 20 June (HS): Shiv Sena (UBT) has issued a new show

cause notice to its absentee MPs, threatening disqualification. Anil Desai, the

party's Chief Whip in the Lok Sabha, has issued a formal 'Show Cause' notice to

the missing MPs. They have been given a rigorous 24-hour deadline to submit a

written explanation for their actions. The message has a strong warning. If the

MPs do not answer within the timeframe specified, the party will believe they

have voluntarily resigned their membership. As a result, they will face legal

action under the Tenth Schedule of the Indian Constitution (the Anti-Defection

Act). Amid 'Operation Tiger,' a major defection of UBT politicians to the

Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena has pushed the party to the brink, resulting in

open animosity, missing MPs, and legal threats.

Meanwhile, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut sarcastically said

on Saturday that it should be considered a biological miracle that the birthday

of a four-year-old organization was celebrated as if it were 60 years old, a

day after Mumbai wtinessed both UBT Sena and Shinde's Sena in honor of the

party's 60th foundation day. Raut took a shot at Eknath Shinde, who celebrated

the Shiv Sena's 60th anniversary in Mumbai on Friday, saying that the genuine

Shiv Sena is still led by Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray, while the Shinde camp is

Amit Shah's test tube kid.

“I intended to send some DNA samples to biology academics

for examination. I am referring to the organization that was created four years

ago. You're referring to Amit Shah's 'test-tube baby.' So, how do you award a 60-year certificate to

a four-year-old 'test-tube baby'? During a Mumbai news conference, Raut spoke

in Marathi. What sort of biological marvel is this? Yesterday commemorated the

60th anniversary of the Shiv Sena of Hindu Hriday Samrat Balasaheb Thackeray,

led by Uddhav Thackeray. And four years ago, Amit Shah created a 'test-tube

baby'. This is another miracle; both of its parents are Amit Shah. He went on

to say that both the mother and father are Amit Shah.

Speaking about the likelihood of at least 6 UBT MPs switching to the Eknath

Shinde camp, commonly known as Operation Tiger, Raut stated that

they were purchased at an auction, and the real tigers remain on

Thackeray's side. Let me repeat: this is not 'Operation Tiger'. Shinde just

circumcised these 'foxes' that fled away from us. Tigers are here! The tiger

army has arrived; the tigers are right here! Six persons were ready to sell

themselves and were 'For Sale.' They came to the market, and because Shinde is

so wealthy, he purchased them, he stated.

Union Minister Prataprao Jadhav alleged that UBT Sena MPs

were outraged when Sanjay Raut called for regional parties to combine with the

Congress. Sanjay Raut, the spokesperson for the Uddhav Thackeray group, has

urged that all regional parties should join the national party. This

declaration enraged UBT MLAs, municipal councillors, and MPs, who dreaded being

hauled to Congress, according to Shiv Sena leader Jadhav. This was the founding

day of the Shiv Sena. What have we done in previous years, and what are we

going to do in the future? Previously, our leader, Balasaheb (Thackeray),

discussed this. Today, Eknath Shinde stated that Maharashtra must be developed.

He mentioned NDA and Mahayuti, he added. Maharashtra Minister Gulabrao Patil

accused Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray of embracing the Congress

philosophy.
