India’s richest MLA performs ‘Nagin dance’ to woo voters!
Bengaluru: Karnataka Housing minister MTB Nagaraj – supposedly the richest legislator in the country – was seen dancing to Hindi movie song ‘Nagin’ much to the amusement of people at Karnataka’s Hoskote in a bid to draw voters.
Nagaraj (King Cobra if his name is translated to English) had been to Katigenahalli village in Hoskote Tuesday evening along with his supporters seeking votes for Congress candidates and former union minister Veerappa Moily — who is contesting from the Chikkaballapura 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. 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 dancing 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.
