Leopard In Rashtrapati Bhavan?

The viral video shows Madhya Pradesh MP Durgadas Uikey, also known as DD Uikey, swearing in as one of the Union Ministers. Moments after he rises from his seat, a mysterious animal can be seen walking in the background as the minister carries out the official procedure on stage.

As he rose from his seat, bowing his head and conveying a Namaste to the President, netizens swiftly redirected their attention to the background. A four-legged creature was purportedly spotted taking a leisurely stroll up the stairs.

The viral incident occurred when Uikey, who recently won the general elections from the Betul (ST) Lok Sabha seat in Madhya Pradesh, was sworn in as a minister of state in the Narendra Modi government on June 9. Uikey,58, representing the Betul (ST) seat for the second consecutive term, previously worked as a teacher in schools under the state tribal welfare department before securing a ticket for the Lok Sabha polls in 2019. In the 2024 elections, he defeated Ramu Tekam of the Congress party by a margin of 3.79 lakh votes.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi hit a hat-trick by taking the oath for the third time, equaling former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's record of three consecutive terms. President Draupadi Murmu administered the oath of office to PM Modi and the 71 other ministers in the Modi 3.0 cabinet. Despite the political significance of the event, it was the unexpected animal sighting that captured the public's attention and became the highlight on social media platforms.
