Following his win in the Rajya Sabha election 2018 from West Bengal, Congress's Abhishek Manu Singhvi said that it was humbling and uplifting and "it is a result of cooperation between different groups and MLAs." Yesterday, Mr Singhvi had said that CPM's allegations of inconsistency in his age mentioned in the affidavits for the coming polls, as malicious and unfounded and alleged that they are demanding to scrap his candidature, to avoid obvious defeat. Mr Singhvi said CPM is baselessly referring to a 2006 age declaration form with a "typographical error" that has no significance in 2018.
