BJP minister, Kiren Rijiju recently took to his Twitter to share a gorgeous image from Arunachal Pradesh. Twitter says, it is West Bengal.
Bharatiya Janata Party Minister, Kiren Rijiju who is the current State Minister of Youth Affair and Sports recently took to his Twitter account to share a stunning image showing people the beauty of Arunachal Pradesh.
The picture that we are talking about was shared with the caption, "Come to amazing Arunachal Pradesh. You might get to click like this in the early morning!"

The capture shows 6 gorgeous Hornbill birds sitting on a branch. However, there was some factual error in the caption of the tweet and netizens were very quick to point it out.
While some of the comments on the thread said that the photograph was beautiful, the remaining comments on the tweet were correcting the minister, saying that the picture is not from Arunachal Pradesh, instead, it is from West Bengal.
That is not all, the comments are also asking the minister to give proper credits to the photographer. One Twitter user, Uzair Hasan Rizvi wrote, "Photo is clicked by @setusunnu who is a member of The Himalayan Club. Also, it's clicked in Mahananda wildlife sanctuary, West Bengal NOT Arunachal Pradesh."
