Amid the high-voltage campaign for Madhya Pradesh Assembly election, leaders across party lines referred to various popular characters from Bollywood movies and the epics Ramayan and Mahabharat while trying to woo voters.
After a controversy between former Chief Ministers Kamal Nath and Digvijaya Singh over distribution of Congress tickets, party general secretary in-charge of MP Randeep Surjewala sought to downplay it by describing the relation between the two veteran leaders as akin to the bond shared by characters 'Jai' and 'Veeru' in the 1975 Hindi movie Sholay.
A row had erupted over M.P. Congress chief Nath's "tear clothes" jibe at his party colleague Mr. Singh.
