Sant Kabir Nagar (Uttar Pradesh): BJP MP Sharad Tripathi and party's Uttar Pradesh MLA Rakesh Singh Baghel on Wednesday came to blows during a meeting to discuss developmental projects here.

Initially, both of them had a verbal argument over the placement of names on a foundation stone of some development project. However, the argument soon turned ugly as the two leaders got into jostling, pushing each other and ultimately fisticuffs. Tripathi hit Baghel with his footwear to which Tripathi also retaliated by slapping the MP.
