Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole has come under fire when a video of a party member washing his filthy feet appeared on social media. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has criticised the incident, criticising the Congress party's "culture".

The incident occurred on Monday while Patole was touring the Akola area and attending a programme at Wadegaon. Patole walked through the mud at Nanasaheb Chincholkar Vidyalaya after receiving 'darshan' from Saint Gajanan Maharaj's palanquin. When Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole returned to his car, a man was seen cleaning the mud off his feet, which was captured on film and promptly shared on social media, reported ANI.
