People suffering from water crisis in Indian state of Madhya Pardesh have showed their anger by offering a garland of shoes to a local BJP leader.

Dinesh Sharma, the BJP candidate in civic elections, was meeting voters on Sunday when the man forced him to wear the garland of shoes as he moved towards him to touch his feet.

The man who put the garland was angry about the action authorities took against residents who wanted to complain about the shortage of water.

“There’s an acute water problem in the town,” the man told ANI.
