State Agriculture Minister P Prasad boycotted the event, objecting to the portrait's use, which the CPI argues is unconstitutional.
CPI members, including senior leaders, hoisted the national flag and planted saplings in protest, asserting the flag as the authentic symbol of Bharat Mata and criticizing the Governor's stance.
