Chaos unfoled during a government meeting in Karnataka's Bidar on Monday, after two legislators from rival parties got indulged in a heated altercation front of a state minister.
The confrontation took place inside the Zilla Panchayat Hall during a Karnataka Development Programme (KDP) meeting and involved BJP MLA Siddu Patil and Congress MLC Bhimrao Patil. The dispute, triggered by a land encroachment issue, quickly escalated into a fierce verbal showdown, turning the meeting into a scene of chaos.
The altercation began while forest land in the Humnabad constituency was being discussed.
Footage of the incident shows both leaders shouting and gesturing angrily at each other. Tensions peaked when the Congress MLC stood up, moved towards the Humnabad MLA and appeared to raise his hand to attack him, before being stopped in time by a policeman and other leaders present.
The two leaders allegedly exchanged abusive remarks throughout the episode, prompting District In-charge Minister Eshwara Khandre to adjourn the meeting indefinitely.
