The NDA’s assembly-level workers’ conference in Nabinagar, Aurangabad, witnessed a dramatic incident on Sunday as Virendra Kumar Singh, the former MP and MLA, and Sanjeev Kumar Singh, who are also vying for the ticket from the same seat, clashed on stage. The event was marred by the public disagreement between the two leaders.
The confrontation involved the two leaders arguing and exchanging accusations. The ensuing commotion led to workers expressing their support for Sanjeev Singh. The district in-charge from BJP and the LJP (Ram Vilas) district president acted to de-escalate the situation.
The former MLA’s dissatisfaction stemmed from the arrival of Sanjeev Singh on stage with his supporters, who then began to chant slogans in Sanjeev Singh’s support. Virendra Singh’s reaction ignited the situation, leading to a confrontation. The supporters of Sanjeev Singh eventually returned to their seats after the leaders intervened.
However, the tension continued when a JDU leader praised the former MLA during his speech, provoking another reaction from Sanjeev Singh’s supporters. This prompted the former MLA to approach Sanjeev Singh directly on stage. The exact content of their words was not audible.
The BJP and LJP leaders took immediate action to bring the situation under control. The conference eventually resumed, but a significant aspect was the overt support shown towards Sanjeev Singh, with the former MLA not receiving comparable backing.
