Minister Agnimitra Paul targets Abhishek over alleged signature forgery row

Jalpaiguri, June 9 (UNI) Taking a dig at the Trinamool Congress over the alleged signature forgery controversy, West Bengal Minister for Urban Development and Municipal Affairs, Agnimitra Paul, on Tuesday targeted TMC National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee and said it was perhaps the first case of ‘signature theft’ in Indian politics.
The controversy is linked to a proposal concerning the post of Leader of the Opposition in the state Assembly.
Speaking to reporters in Jalpaiguri, Paul alleged that the TMC had crossed all limits of impropriety. “We have witnessed many kinds of theft during the TMC regime, but this is perhaps the first time that a case of ‘signature theft’ has come to light. Now they have started stealing signatures as well,” she remarked, referring to a separate controversy.
