Political Turmoil Brews Over Alleged Mutton Feast Controversy

Samajwadi Party MP Virendra Singh accused BJP MP Vinod Kumar Bind of hosting a community feast in violation of the election code. Allegations say the feast led to a fight when only gravy was served. Bind denied the event, focusing on his son's surgery. Complaints have been filed.

A political fracas has emerged as Samajwadi Party MP Virendra Singh alleged a violation of the election model code, sparked by a purported community feast held by BJP MP Vinod Kumar Bind.

The incident in question reportedly drew ire when attendees received only gravy instead of meat in a mutton dish, igniting a scuffle. Bind, however, denies the occurrence, prioritizing his son's health over the controversy.

Singh has lodged a formal complaint with the Election Commission, yet no action has been taken against Bind, reflecting tensions in the upcoming bypoll competitions.
