BJP MLC Sadabhau Khot stated that the recent scuffle between supporters of two MLAs on the Maharashtra Vidhan Bhavan premises was a fitting response to those intoxicated with power for the past fifty years.

Supporters of NCP (SP) MLA Jitendra Awhad and BJP legislator Gopichand Padalkar clashed last Thursday, a day after their leaders had an altercation. The verbal exchange escalated into a physical fight in the lobby, as shown in social media video footage, according to news PTI. 

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar and leaders from various parties condemned the incident. Both Padalkar and Awhad later expressed regret for the episode in the Lower House.
