Political tensions flared in Uttar Pradesh after BJP workers stormed the Congress office in Lakhimpur and carried out vandalism. Eyewitnesses reported that the workers entered the premises, damaged furniture, tore posters, and threw away a picture of former President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, which shocked many people.
The incident created chaos in the area as locals gathered around the office. According to local reports, BJP workers shouted slogans against the Congress party while they carried out the vandalism. They accused Congress leaders of spreading lies against the ruling party.
Congress leaders condemned the act strongly. They said BJP workers not only attacked their office but also insulted the memory of Dr. Kalam, a respected leader known as the “Missile Man of India.” Congress demanded strict action against those responsible and accused the BJP of using intimidation to silence the opposition.
Police reached the spot soon after the incident. Officials said they are investigating the matter and promised to take appropriate action. The incident has sparked a heated political debate in Uttar Pradesh, where both parties are preparing for upcoming elections.
Political experts believe that such clashes reflect the growing hostility between BJP and Congress workers in the state. With elections approaching, both sides have intensified their campaigns, often leading to confrontations on the ground.
The Lakhimpur vandalism incident has not only created political uproar but also triggered emotional reactions from citizens who see Dr. Kalam as an icon of national pride. Many questioned why his picture was disrespected in a political fight.
As the investigation continues, the state watches closely to see how authorities handle the matter and whether political parties use the incident to fuel further tensions.
