Cash-for-query row: For 1st time since Mahua row, Mamata backs MP

IndiaTimes Thursday, 23 November 2023
Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee broke her silence on the cash-for-query controversy involving Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra on Thursday, rallying behind her and declaring BJP's alleged attempt to oust her from Parliament "a foolish thing to do". "This way, they will end up making her more popular," Mamata said at a party convention in Kolkata, echoing Moitra's claim that the parliamentary ethics committee's report recommending her expulsion had turned her into "Jhansi ki Rani". TMC reinstated Moitra as the party's Krishnanagar district president recently, with Mamata endorsing the appointment.

LS Polls 2024: Mahua Moitra to contest from Krishnanagar | Political journey | Oneindia

Mahua Moitra, recently expelled from Lok Sabha, has been nominated as the Trinamool Congress (TMC) candidate for Krishnanagar. This announcement was made by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's nephew, Abhishek Banerjee, on March 10, unveiling the party's candidates for the impending Lok Sabha elections. Moitra won the Krishnanagar seat in the 2019 elections but was disqualified from the 17th Lok Sabha due to her alleged involvement in a cash-for-query scam. Now, she is set to contest for re-election from the same constituency. Moitra has served as the general secretary and national spokesperson of the AITC for the past few years. #MahuaMoitra #Krishnanagar #LokSabhaElections #KnowYourMP #KrishnanagarMPMahuaMoitra #CongressMPMahuaMoitra #IndianPolitics #Congress #PoliticalCareer #Leadership #ElectionCampaign #KrishnanagarConstituency #PoliticalJourney #ElectoralStrategy #CongressLeader #MahuaMoitraInKrishnanagar #PoliticalMilestones #IndianDemocracy #ElectionDecision #CongressParty #VoteForRahul #PoliticalLegacy #CampaignTrail ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.103~
