Mumbai, Sept. 7 -- Shiv Sena MLA Murji Patel has claimed that 14 legislators from the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena are in touch with the Eknath Shinde camp and may join the party soon.

Patel said an "Operation Tiger" could be launched in Maharashtra in the coming days, suggesting that a number of leaders from the Thackeray faction may cross over to the Shinde-led Shiv Sena. He further claimed that, after MPs and MLAs, several municipal corporators associated with Uddhav Thackeray's faction are also keen to join the Shinde camp.
