In a shocking incident during a funeral procession in Agra, BJP MLA Dr GS Dharmesh and former minister Rambabu Harit became embroiled in a physical altercation that was captured on camera.
The incident occurred on Tuesday morning around 10 AM during the final journey of democracy activist Chiranjilal Kushwaha. Several BJP leaders had gathered at Arjun Nagar residence to participate in the funeral procession.
According to witnesses, former UP minister Rambabu Harit was recording a video of the procession when MLA Dr Dharmesh allegedly pushed him aside. This led to a heated argument and physical pushing between the two leaders.
Harit claimed that he was walking at the forefront of the procession when the MLA repeatedly tried to move him aside. He stated, “I asked the MLA why he was doing this. I defended myself. I’m not sure what exactly happened. Perhaps he stumbled. He even used abusive language, but I didn’t respond. He is a respected MLA.”
The MLA countered that the family’s women were cleaning the road with their saree pallu ahead of the procession. He said he simply asked Harit to move aside while he was making a video. Dharmesh claimed Harit then grabbed his hand and became aggressive.
A video of the altercation has surfaced, showing the two leaders in a heated exchange during the funeral procession.
The incident has drawn attention to internal tensions within the local BJP leadership and has become a topic of discussion in political circles.
