The brawl unfolded during a review meeting to discuss development projects worth ₹4 crore in Shamli. The video footage shows members throwing punches, climbing on chairs, and attempting to jump on each other. The intensity of the altercation has drawn condemnation from various quarters, including former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, who took to X (formerly Twitter) to express concern.
