In the bustling streets of Uttar Pradesh, stray cattle are a common sight despite government orders to shelter them in Goshalas. Their presence sometimes leads to unexpected encounters, like the recent bullfight in Kanpur Dehat that caught spectators' attention. Onlookers couldn't help but draw parallels between the bullfight and the ongoing tussle between the BJP and the Samajwadi Party.
It all happened near Tingai village on Akbarpur Rura Road, where a herd of stray animals strolled across the road. Suddenly, a pair of bulls began fighting right in the midst of traffic, causing a temporary standstill. A growing crowd gathered to witness the scuffle and some pulled out their mobile phones to capture the fight, humorously narrating it as a metaphor for political rivalry.
Citizens Marvel at the Street Spectacle of Bulls in Combat
As the Lok Sabha elections approach, the timing of the bullfight couldn't be more opportune. People relished the event, mockingly dubbing it a fight between the BJP and SP as they filmed the action. Their commentary, heard clearly in the video, likened the physical brawl to a political one.
Shelters Exist, Yet Stray Animals Roam the Streets
One bull charged towards an individual filming the incident, raising concerns about public safety. The accountability for any injuries incurred during such street fights with stray animals remains a contested issue.
