Controversial Portrait Gifted to Bihar Chief Minister Goes Viral

Builder Gifts Portrait to Chief Minister

Sanjeev Srivastava, a builder from Bihar, recently presented a pencil sketch to Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary. This artwork has sparked considerable attention on social media, albeit for the wrong reasons. The sketch depicts the Chief Minister, but many users have drawn comparisons to a character from a Bollywood film, Majnu Bhai. Srivastava met with Chaudhary and later shared several photos from their meeting, showcasing various gifts, including the controversial portrait.

Social Media Reactions

The Instagram post was captioned, "A cordial meeting with Bihar's new Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary and CMD of Pallav Raj Construction, Sanjeev Srivastava." As the image gained traction, users began likening it to the character from the film 'Welcome.' Although the user who posted the sketch eventually removed the photo, the original post remains. Many users criticized the artistic quality of the pencil sketch, noting that it bore little resemblance to Chief Minister Chaudhary.

Political Commentary

The Indian Youth Congress responded to the post on Instagram, asking, "Guess Who?" This comment seemed to mock the cartoonish portrayal of the Chief Minister. While some users appreciated Chaudhary's acceptance of the gift, others were less kind. One user remarked, "The painting cannot be called a painting at all. Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary is a kind person, which is why this individual confidently presented such a bizarre artwork and still walked away unscathed."

Further Comparisons

Another user compared the artist to Majnu Bhai, suggesting that the character would be proud of the work. The director of the construction company confidently gifted the portrait to Chief Minister Chaudhary and shared four photos from the meeting on social media. As of the time of this report, the builder had removed the image from his Instagram post and disabled comments, likely due to the negative feedback received over the past two days.
