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.
