TMC's Mahua Moitra took cash, gifts from businessman to ask questions in Parliament, alleges BJP MP Nishikant Dubey

Bharatiya Janata Party MP Nishikant Dubey on October 15 wrote to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, asking to constitute an inquiry committee against TMC MP Mahua Moitra and her immediate suspension from the House alleging that 'bribes were exchanged between Mahua Moitra and businessman Darshan Hiranandani to ask questions in Parliament in exchange for cash and gifts'.

Nishikant Dubey, in his letter, highlighted a detailed complaint by a Supreme Court advocate, Jai Anant Dehadrai, which he had received. As per the letter, the allegation against Moitra by the BJP MP and advocate is that she purportedly asked questions in Parliament in exchange for gifts and cash from a businessman, and has targeted the PM and Home Minister in an attempt to link them to another corporate.

However, responding to the allegations, Mahua Moitra took to X (formerly Twitter) and said CBI is welcome to investigate "right after they finish investigating Adani's offshore money trail, over-invoicing, benami account".

Meanwhile, the Hiranandani group refuted the statement mentioned by the BJP MP saying that such allegations had "no merit."

Dubey quoted Dehadrai's points stating that Moitra asked approximately 50 questions in Parliament, "out of total 61, posted by her, which shockingly seek information, with the intent of protecting or perpetuating business interests of Darshan Hiranandani and his Company. The questions were also often focused on the Adani Group, another business conglomerate, Hiranandani Group was bidding for business against."
