Union youth affairs and sports minister Anurag Thakur sobbed during a campaign rally in Himachal Pradesh on Friday. As Thakur recalled his and his father's meetings with party members in his Lok Sabha constituency of Sujanpur, he started to get upset. He was continually wiping his eyes and clearing his throat. Thakur also complimented the workers for being considerate and loving to their families. He stated, "I have been appointed a Union minister, and my father has been made chief minister of a little district of Hamirpur.'' The video has gone viral now.
