A rare moment of bonhomie across party lines in the arena of politics was captured by cameras at an event in Indore when Congress MLA Sanjay Shukla touched the feet of BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya, who will be his likely opponent in the upcoming Madhya Pradesh Assembly election. A video of the incident went viral on social media, garnering mostly positive reaction from users.
