A video that shows Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma strumming a number by Iron Maiden, a heavy metal band, has won the internet as many social media users praised him for his mastery of the instrument.
In nearly 46-second video, shared on the Chief Minister's official Instagram account, the 42-year-old leader can be seen playing Iron Maiden's "Wasted Years". "After a hectic 3 day Assembly session .. unwinding with some iron maiden stuff .. it's been a long while I haven't played so I guess a few mistakes ..., (sic)" reads his post.
The song from the album "Somewhere In Time" was released by the London-based band in 1986.
The video shared last night has been viewed over 24,000 times on the photo-sharing app. It also earned him praise on Facebook and Twitter.
"Meghalaya Chief Minister Shri. Conrad Sangma, who never fails to impress us Thumbs up," said a Twitter user.
Another user shared the video and wrote: "That's my state's Chief Minister for you my friends. @SangmaConrad killing it!! Guitar."
