The media on Wednesday witnessed a bizarre friendship between BJP general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya and Rajya Sabha MP Digvijay Singh as they met in Indore on the occasion of Makar Sankranti.
Both the senior leaders not only embraced each other with big smiles but also greeted each other by exchanging Malwi pagdis (headgears) with each other.
Notably, both the leaders had started their political careers in Indore spending their formative years in commercial capital of Madhya Pradesh before making it big in Indian politics.
Both are known to wear their hearts on their sleeves and never held back at making their views public even on the most contentious issues. They also never hesitate to hurl serious allegations on each other time and again.
On Wednesday, it was a different scene when the two senior leaders met in Indore on Wednesday during the visit of a central team which was monitoring a smart road built in the city recently.
Much to the surprise of many, in no time both embraced each other into a tight hug sporting big smiles. Singh also offered coffee to Vijayvargiya who immediately accepted it.
The senior leaders had coffee and laughed their hearts out on old memories. Later, when the visiting dignitaries were offered Malwi pagdis (traditional headgear), Digvijaya offered his pagdi to Vijayvargiya who also returned the favour within seconds.
As the cordial meet set the rumours abuzz, Vijayvargiya speaking to the media called it a courtesy meeting adding Madhya Pradesh has this tradition of difference of opinion but leaders enjoying cordial relations.
