What was meant to be a solemn celebration of the Constitution turned into a light-hearted showcase of Samajwadi Party’s "enthusiastic internal democracy." At the SP’s Constitution Day event in Aligarh, eager party workers jostled quite literally for a spot on the stage, resulting in some torn shirts, bruised egos, and a 30-minute spectacle.

The scuffle began over who deserved to be closer to former Union Minister Salim Sherwani. As is tradition in big political families, a few heated words were exchanged, followed by some “expressive body language.” Police looked on, puzzled, as SP leaders united in spirit but divided by seat space temporarily descended into a display of passion. Former city president Ajju Ishaq, ex-MLA Veeresh Yadav, and district secretary Manoj Yadav took center-stage, unintentionally creating an impromptu reality show.

Fortunately, Manoj calmed things down with folded hands, and Sherwani wisely summed up the scene: "This is the fire of 2027 already lighting up."
He wasn’t wrong. If anything, the chaos signaled the party’s energy ahead of upcoming elections.

Despite the elbows and expletives, the message was clear: SP is loud, proud, and ready to rumble on the ballot, not just the stage.
