Samajwadi Party Press Meet in Gorakhpur Disrupted by Clash Over Seating
A press conference of the Samajwadi Party (SP) in Gorakhpur was disrupted on October 3 after supporters of former district president Nagina Sahani and party leader Anshuman Singh clashed over seating arrangements. The dispute escalated into a scuffle during which Sahani was allegedly slapped by Kamlesh Singh, son of Anshuman Singh. Both sides accused each other of misconduct and intimidation. The party leadership, including SP president Akhilesh Yadav, condemned the incident and dissolved the Gorakhpur district, city, and frontal units to address indiscipline.
