The incident occurred at the Congress Sivaganga district unit meeting in Tamil Nadu which was organized to talk about the oncoming local body polls. The party workers of two different factions clashed against each other with plastic chairs thrown all over the place.
This incident is just another example where the infighting prevailing within the Congress party managed to escape out on the surface. Lately, the Congress party seems to be immersed in internal conflicts within the party across several states such as Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan. The most recent demonstration of this Congress infighting seems to be the conflict in Punjab that ultimately led to the the removal of Amarinder Singh from the Chief Minister post.
