Mahua Moitra accused of ‘taking cash to ask questions’

BJP MP Nishikant Dubey complained to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla that Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra had allegedly taken bribes from a business house to ask questions in Parliament.

Ms. Moitra denied the allegations and urged the Speaker to first complete the “probe” into Mr. Dubey’s educational qualifications and then hold an investigation into the allegations against her.

Mr. Dubey has sought a probe by an inquiry committee into the matter. Both the MPs fought on X over the matter. He warned that Ms. Moitra’s would lose her seat.

In a letter, Mr. Dubey told Mr. Birla that Ms. Moitra was directly involved in the scam.
