Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said on Thursday that the BJP was yet to learn the trick of the trade as far as administration and governance were considered. He was replying to an allegation raised by the BJP spokesman Sandeep Warrier that a Government order issued in his name on September 9, 2018 had the fake signature of the Chief Minister.
Warrier had made the allegation in a specially convened press meet at Thiruvananthapuram on Thursday. ‘A Government order issued on September 9, 2018 in the name of the Chief Minister had been signed by an impostor and this is a grave situation.
The Chief Minister was on a US tour from September 1 to 23 and chances are that the government order could have been signed by another person. Vijayan’s signature has been faked by somebody in the Chief Minister’s Office,” alleged Warrier.
It made big news in all satellite TV news channels in the State as well as in social media. The first question put to Vijayan during his media briefing was about the “fake” signature of the Chief Minister.
He said it was his own signature and he had issued the order on September 9 from the USA making use of the internet facilities.
“The BJP leaders are not familiar with such innovations and I am not responsible for their ignorance,” he said.
