The ‘cash-for-query’ case has put Moitra in the spotlight. BJP MP Nishikant Dubey alleges that she accepted money from Dubai-based businessman Hiranandani to raise questions in Parliament targeting the Adani Group. Legal proceedings have ensued, including hearings in the Supreme Court, leading to Moitra’s expulsion from the Lok Sabha.
Despite the expulsion from the Lok Sabha, Trinamool Congress (TMC) has nominated the controversial queen from the Krishnanagar seat and the BJP has fielded ‘Rajmata’ Amrita Roy against Mahua Moitra in Bengal’s Krishnanagar constituency.
