BJP Leader Ravindra Chavan Misunderstood in Foot-Touching Video
There's a video of a BJP leader, Ravindra Chavan, touching the feet of a man.
Some people on the internet said he was seeking blessings from an AIMIM leader.
But actually, the man was a Sindhi guru.
This happened while they were campaigning for local elections in Maharashtra.
Some reports said that certain BJP groups might have made deals with the AIMIM after the elections, which might have led to the confusion.
A video shows BJP leader Ravindra Chavan touching the feet of a man during municipal election campaigning in Maharashtra.
The video was shared on social media with claims that Chavan was seeking blessings from an AIMIM leader.
The man in the video is actually a Sindhi guru, not an AIMIM leader.
Reports suggest some BJP units may have formed post-poll alliances with the AIMIM in Akot, Akola.
The misinterpretation of the video may be due to political tensions and allegations of alliances between BJP and AIMIM.
