A public meeting took a violent turn as two groups of Bharatiya Janata Party workers in a brawl in Jalgaon on Wednesday.
After a brief exchange of words, the scuffle broke out between the supporters of former Jalgaon lawmaker BS Patil and BJP district president Uday Wagh.
A video of that incident is being widely circulated on social media, in which the BJP workers can be seen thrashing each other while Maharashtra Minister Girish Mahajan is trying to control the fight.
The incident took place during a joint rally of the BJP and its ally Shiv Sena.
This incident comes barely a month after an MP and MLA from BJP came to blows during a meeting to discuss developmental projects in Uttar Pradesh's Sant Kabir Nagar.
A verbal argument over the placement of names on a foundation stone of some development project occurred between the two leaders-- Sharad Tripathi and Rakesh Singh Baghel.
However, the argument soon turned ugly as both the leaders got into jostling, pushing each other and ultimately fisticuffs. Tripathi hit Baghel with his footwear to which the MLA also retaliated by slapping the MP.
