A video of a BJP MLA from Maharashtra's Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district dancing on Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan's hit song "Khaike paan Banaras wala" has gone viral on social media.

While some netizens praised Prashant Bamb for his dance moves, others criticised him saying that while farmers in parts of Marathwada region were reeling under crop losses, he was dancing.

The MLA represents the Gangapur assembly seat in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.

"An entertainment programme is organised every year for my party workers. During this year's event held at Mhaismal, a famous tourist destination, I danced to the 'Khaike paan Banaras wala' song. Before that, I also sang a Lavani, which is a part of Maharashtra's culture. I don't see anything wrong in it, " said the MLA to PTI.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
