TMC MP Mahua Moitra has taken a jab at the BJP’s defeat in the Faizabad Lok Sabha constituency, sharing a video of comedian Varun Grover mocking the loss. The video, which shows Grover laughing at the BJP’s defeat in Ayodhya, has been widely shared on social media. Moitra’s post comes after the Samajwadi Party’s Awadhesh Prasad defeated BJP’s Lallu Singh in the recent Lok Sabha elections.
Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra has been booked by the Delhi Police for a derogatory social media post against NCW chief Rekha Sharma. The post, which has since been deleted, was made in response to a video of Sharma visiting the Hathras stampede venue. Moitra shared her location with the police and dared them to take action immediately.
TMC MP Mahua Moitra launched a scathing attack on the BJP-led NDA government, accusing them of silencing opposition voices, ignoring critical issues like Manipur, and failing to deliver on promises of women empowerment. She highlighted the BJP’s loss of 63 MPs in the recent elections, attributing it to their attempt to silence her during the previous Lok Sabha session. Moitra also criticized the government’s infrastructure projects, including the Vande Bharat Bullet Train Project, citing recent train accidents and safety concerns.
Trinamool Congress leader Mahua Moitra is seeking re-election from the Krishnanagar constituency in West Bengal. Moitra had been expelled from the Lok Sabha in December 2023 for allegedly asking parliamentary questions at the behest of industrialist Darshan Hiranandani. Her main challenger is Amrita Roy from the BJP, whose family has historical ties to the East India Company. The contest has been made more interesting by the presence of CPI(M) candidate S.M. Saadi.
Eight Lok Sabha seats in West Bengal will go to polls in the fourth phase of the 2024 general elections on May 13. The constituencies, located across south Bengal, will see prominent political figures contesting, including State Congress president Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders Mahua Moitra and Shatrughan Sinha, and BJP’s Dilip Ghosh and S.S. Ahluwalia. The fourth phase will also see the electoral debut of former cricketers Yusuf Pathan and Kirti Azad, who have been fielded by the TMC.
The Krishnanagar Lok Sabha seat in West Bengal is witnessing a triangular contest between Trinamool Congress’s Mahua Moitra, BJP’s Amrita Roy, and CPI(M)-Congress alliance’s S.M. Sadi. The contest has gained significance as Moitra, a former MP, was expelled from Parliament over cash-for-query allegations and the BJP is banking on Sadi to split Muslim votes. The CPI(M)-Congress alliance is targeting both Trinamool and BJP, while the Trinamool is concerned about Moitra’s individualistic campaigning style.
Advocate Jai Anant Dehadrai withdrew his defamation case against former TMC MP Mahua Moitra in the Delhi High Court on Thursday. During the hearing, Dehadrai’s counsel stated that she will not make false statements against him. The court suggested exploring a private resolution to the dispute rather than making public allegations. Dehadrai’s withdrawal request was granted by the court.
