Ganjar also had time to respond to the Soekarno painting gift given by Butet Kartaredjasa. He recounted that while playing at Butet Kartaredjasa's house some time ago there were indeed a number of paintings that attracted him. One of them is Soekarno's painting.

There are several interesting paintings, one of which is Bung Karno's painting. I said this painting is really good. And there is another painting that I have a crush on, namely his painting from the old National Police Chief, Pak Hoegeng. So the painting Mr. Hoegeng painted Mr. Hoegeng, who was painted, is the National Police Chief and has not been completed. The philosophy is very deep," said Ganjar.
