The alleged incident led Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya to order the district administration to take strict action in the incident, in which Mr Gupta alleged his ''kurta'' was also torn by the assailants.
BJP's Pratapgarh MP Sangam Lal Gupta on Saturday accused former Congress MP Pramod Tiwari of leading a mob of his party workers to beat him up and his party's activists during a social function in Sangipur block of the district.
The issue prompted the police to register a case against 27 persons, including the senior Congress leader and his daughter.
The alleged incident led Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya to order the district administration to take strict action in the incident, in which Mr Gupta alleged his ''kurta'' was also torn by the assailants.
"Instructions have been issued for speedy and strict action in the incident of attack on BJP MP and national general secretary of BJP's Pichhda Varg Morch Sangam Lal Gupta during the Gareeb Kalyan Mela in Sangipur block in Pratapgarh district," said Maurya in a tweet.
