Nagpur: Amid the excitement, tight security, and political buzz marking the opening day of the Winter Session of the Maharashtra Legislature on Monday, an unexpected duo emerged as the most photographed ‘VIPs’ of the morning — two carefree stray dogs, who casually walked onto the red carpet laid out to welcome ministers, MLAs, and top dignitaries.
As the crisp winter sun broke through the Nagpur chill, the dogs decided the plush red carpet was the perfect place to stretch out and soak up some warmth. While security personnel and protocol officers scrambled in confusion, the furry visitors remained completely unfazed, enjoying the comfort meant for the State’s most powerful decision-makers.

For a few minutes, the grandeur of flashing cameras, police barricades, and the political atmosphere took a backseat, as media lenses gleefully turned toward the unlikely stars — comfortably lounging, tail-wagging, and owning the moment with natural confidence.
Spectators burst into laughter, some capturing the scene on their phones, while others joked that the two dogs were demonstrating a kind of freedom and fearlessness rarely seen around politicians.
One journalist quipped, “At least someone is enjoying democracy without stress,” while another remarked, “These two walked in without passes, frisking, or security clearance. True VIP privilege!”
The incident quickly became the highlight of the morning, spreading cheer across Vidhan Bhavan even as heated debates awaited inside.
In a city where street animals often struggle for survival, the sight of them ruling the most exclusive carpet in the State offered a refreshing reminder — sometimes innocence and simplicity steal the show where power tries to dominate.
And for once, the red carpet witnessed a moment that was neither political nor controversial, but simply heartwarming — proving that even in the most serious arenas, life finds a way to smile!!
