Karnataka Minister performs "Nagin dance" to woo voters
Video goes viral
Bengaluru, Apr 10: In a bid to woo voters, Karnataka Housing minister M T B Nagaraj danced to a popular tune from the Hindi movie 'Nagin' much to the amusement of people at Hoskote, near here, and the video has gone viral.
Nagaraj, whose name means King Cobra, had gone with his supporters to Kattigenahalli village in Hoskote Tuesday evening seeking votes for Congress candidate and former union minister Veerappa Moily who is contesting from the Chikkaballapur Lok Sabha constituency.
A music band that followed the minister's convoy started playing the famous 'Nagin' tune to captivate a cobra from the 1954 Hindi movie.
The tune was part of the song 'Man Dole Mera Tan Dole' and it charmed Nagaraj too and the 67-year-old congress leader started to gyrate.
Soon his supporters too began dancing with him and the performance went on for about 10 minutes.
The dance video has gone viral.
Those accompanying Nagaraj finally asked him to slow down in view of his age.
This is not the first time that the minister has exhibited his dance skills in public. He had done it earlier too during religious events in Hoskote.
The minister, popularly known as MTB by his supporters, was ranked the richest MLA in the country by the Association for Democratic Reforms, an NGO, last year which said his assets were valued at over Rs 1,000 crore.
Karnataka goes to the polls in two phases on April 18 and 23.

Dharmasthala case: SIT searches Timarodi’s house in Ujire; complainant’s mobile, clothes seized
Belthangady: Officers of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) for the Dharmasthala mass burial case, who had brought the complainant-witness CN Chinnaiah to the house of activist Mahesh Shetty Timarodi in Ujire on Tuesday for an inquest, have confiscated various things belonging to Chinnaiah, including his mobile phone, found there.
The SIT got Chinnaiah to the house of Timarodi, activist in the Sowjanya movement, as he had taken shelter in the activist’s house for the last couple of months and had been appearing in the SIT office for the probe since the start of the investigation.
As the complainant-witness has now been arrested under charge of perjury, his phone and clothes, among other things, are confiscated by the SIT officers. The team obtained a search warrant from the Belthangady court on Monday to conduct a probe of Timarodi’s house.
Timarodi and other senior members of the family, however, were not at home when the inquest was conducted, sources have said.
