Not leaving the opportunity to hit out at the Yogi Adityanath-led UP government, former chief minister Akhilesh Yadav posted a video of the incident on his X account and said, "Lesson of BJP rule: Come to the review meeting after arranging your own security."
"When no development work has been done then what else could have happened in the review meeting, that is why physical blows were exchanged among the councilors in Shamli. Lesson of BJP rule: Come to the review meeting after arranging your own security," Akhilesh Yadav's post read.
