A press conference held by the Samajwadi Party at the Journalists Press Club in Uttar Pradesh descended into a physical confrontation on the afternoon of October 2. The event, which was scheduled to brief the media on the party's 'Loktantra Bachao Saptah' (Save Democracy Week) campaign, was interrupted by a dispute regarding seating arrangements.

According to reports, the situation escalated around 2:45 p.m. when a disagreement over seating led to a physical altercation. During the incident, a former district chief of the Samajwadi Party was reportedly slapped. The disruption halted the planned briefing, which was intended to outline the party's activities for the campaign running from October 2 to October 8. While the incident was captured in the context of internal party friction, specific details regarding the identities of all individuals involved in the physical exchange remain limited in initial reports. The party has not yet issued a formal statement detailing disciplinary actions or addressing the specific cause of the seating dispute.
