Background

There are only a handful of politicians in India who not only achieve cult status due to their political prowess, but also through their talents outside politics. Former Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee was one of the biggest BJP leaders and was a fantastic poet and orator. Similarly, lyricist Javed Akhtar was an MP and was known to give hair-raising speeches in the parliament.

Recently, a video has been making the rounds of internet in which Meghalaya CM is grooving to one of the most popular songs of the 90s.
