Congress worker Durgalal Kirar on Wednesday, 26 December, wore shoes after 15 years – fulfilling the vow he had taken when the party lost power in Madhya Pradesh – in the presence of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath and senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh.
Back in 2003, when his party received severe drubbing in the Assembly elections by winning only 38 of the 240 seats, Kirar vowed that he would not wear shoes until his party returned to power.
