A political debate took an unexpected turn when two spokespersons from major parties engaged in a fight on live TV. The incident, which unfolded on YO YO TV, a Telugu news channel, has now become a talking point on social media.
The footage captures every moment of the altercation that took place on November 18 at around 7:45 PM, according to the timestamp on the channel.
Fight On Live TV
The clip shows a BJP spokesperson and a Congress representative initially engaging in a heated verbal exchange. The Congress spokesperson is seen pointing his finger while making a comment that leads to a reaction from the BJP spokesperson. The BJP representative suddenly slams his hand on the table. The anchor, who is caught off guard, suddenly puts her hands over her ears as a loud bang echoes in the studio.
Seeing this, the Congress spokesperson stands up and pushes the BJP spokesperson, which leads to a full-blown fight between the two. The video shows the two hitting each other with slaps and punches. They also push each other inside the studio as other panelists and staff rush in to intervene and separate the two.
At one point, a spokesperson from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) tries to step in to calm the situation. He succeeds in separating the two.
The footage was shared on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption, “Kalesh b/w BJP worker and Congress worker during Live TV debate."
