As Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra made its way through Shajapur city in Madhya Pradesh on Tuesday (March 5), unexpected chants of "Modi-Modi" erupted from BJP workers along the route. Responding to the surprising display of support, Gandhi halted his convoy and took a moment to engage with the BJP workers who were enthusiastically raising slogans in praise of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Amidst the chants, Rahul Gandhi even went a step further, blowing a flying kiss to the BJP workers from his vehicle before proceeding on the yatra. The journey, aimed at uniting India, had entered Madhya Pradesh over the weekend, navigating through regions governed by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
