Nagaraj who is known as MTB by his supporters was seeking votes for Congress candidate and former union minister Veerappa Moily who is contesting from the Chikkaballapura Lok Sabha constituency on Tuesday in Katigenahalli village, when he showed off his dance moves. A live band was following the minister's convoy and as soon as they played the song, the 67-year-old couldn't help but groove. As soon as he began to dance, his supporters also danced along with him. The entire performance went on for about 10 minutes. Dancing Voter From Bandipora in Jammu and Kashmir is Winning Hearts on Social Media Amid Phase I Voting For Lok Sabha Elections 2019; Watch Video.
