Mahua Moitra is an Indian politician and former Member of Parliament (MP) from the Krishnanagar constituency in West Bengal. She is known for her strong parliamentary interventions and critiques of government policies.
She is a prominent leader of the All India Trinamool Congress (TMC), a regional political party primarily active in the state of West Bengal, India.
Mahua Moitra was recently in the news due to her expulsion from the Lok Sabha (the lower house of the Indian Parliament) in December 2023, following an ethics committee report on 'cash-for-query' allegations.
The 'cash-for-query' controversy involved allegations that Mahua Moitra accepted gifts and cash from a businessman, Darshan Hiranandani, in exchange for asking questions in Parliament targeting the Adani Group and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Following her expulsion, Mahua Moitra is no longer a sitting Member of Parliament. She has maintained her innocence and continues to be an active voice for the Trinamool Congress, indicating her intention to contest future elections.
