The BJP cannot stand Mahua Moitra because she cannot be cowered down, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said on Thursday while campaigning for the party’s Krishnanagar Lok Sabha candidate.
“You had elected Mahua Moitra to the Parliament. Did the BJP have any right to expel her,” the Chief Minister asked voters in Nadia while raising the expulsion of Ms. Moitra from the Lok Sabha over cash-for-query allegations.
Ms. Moitra was expelled from the Parliament in January after the Ethics Committee had found her guilty of “unethical conduct” and contempt of the House by sharing her Lok Sabha member portal credentials with unauthorised persons. Soon after the expulsion, the Trinamool had announced that Ms. Moitra will contest the election from Krishnanagar.
