The Calcutta High Court’s observations on Bengal’s Eid-related cattle slaughter restrictions triggered a sharp political clash involving BJP, TMC and Left leaders.
A fresh political and legal storm erupted around Trinamul Congress MP Mahua Moitra on Wednesday after a criminal complaint accusing her of making “anti-national” and “seditious” remarks on “Operation Sindoor” was filed before the court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) in Krishnagar, Nadia.
The TMC MP has alleged that a group of passengers shouted political slogans and recorded her during the flight before the doors were opened. She has also questioned the airline crew’s response during the incident.
The BJP bagged 206 seats and remained ahead of the TMC, which managed 81. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee lost her Bhabanipur seat to BJP's Suvendu Adhikari by more than 15,000 votes.
After casting her vote in Karimpur, Nadia, Mahua Moitra raised concerns over alleged voter deletions and questioned gaps in infrastructure and connectivity in the region. She also commented on turnout expectations and the electoral process while highlighting issues related to voter lists and local development.
Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Mahua Moitra campaigned for AAP candidate Vishesh Ravi from the Karol Bagh Assembly constituency and expressed confidence in AAP's victory in the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections.
Six Trinamul Congress MLAs have written a letter to the party chief bringing charges of non-cooperation against Mahua Moitra, party MP from Krishnagar in Nadia district, sources said.
Trinamul Congress candidate Mahua Moitra filed her nomination papers from the Krishnagar parliamentary constituency before the district election officer Arun Prasad today.
On Saturday morning, a team of CBI officers reached the residence of the father of Mahua Moitra, who was recently expelled from the Lok Sabha in connection with the alleged cash-for-query scam.
The Lokpal has given the CBI six months time to complete the probe.
