The Trinamool Congress designed a T-shirt bearing a cartoon of Amit Shah’s face. It bears a caption ‘India’s Biggest Pappu’ comes in white, black and yellow.
Trinamool Congress has designed a T-shirt for party workers to flaunt and attack its opponent – BJP leader and Home Minister Amit Shah.

Earlier, BJP made fun of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi with the caption “Pappu”. Now Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress is now using to use to mock the Home Minister.

The Trinamool Congress plans to make the most of this T-shirt campaign during Durga Puja in October first week. Large number of people visit pandals across West Bengal.

Trinamool Congress MP Derek O’Brien told PTI said, “Mocking is the most powerful form of communicating. It started from the comment made by our national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee and it became a trend on social media. Then it came on T-shirts.”

However, this idea came up when Abhishek Banerjee was questioned for over seven hours by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with a coal smuggling case. Abhishek Banerjee then described Mr. Shah as “India’s biggest Pappu”.

The very day, Mr. Banerjee’s cousins Akash Banerjee and Aditi Gayen posted photographs on social media wearing T-shirts with a cartoon of Mr. Shah and the “Pappu” slogan.
Trinamool Congress sources said Mr. Banerjee is guiding young party workers on new designs of the apparel which is sold at a “nominal price” of ₹ 300 apiece.
