Mumbai: Maharashtra BJP MLA Parag Shah, one of the state's richest legislators, recently swapped his security detail, cars and expensive possessions for a beggar's attire and spent a day seeking alms on the streets of Ghatkopar in Mumbai, an experience he said offered him a glimpse of the "reality of life".
A video of the MLA from Ghatkopar (East), dressed as a beggar, has gone viral on social media, initially leaving many viewers surprised before the reason behind his unusual act emerged.
