Did TMC’s Mahua Moitra get bribes to target Adani and Modi?

In what can be tagged as one of the most explosive revelations, BJP‘s Nishikant Dubey shakes the political ground by alleging that Trinamool Congress (TMC) Member of Parliament (MP) Mahua Moitra “took bribes to ask questions” in the sacred halls of parliament. And if that wasn’t enough, the allegations point a direct finger at her trying to target big names – the Adani group and none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself. The dramatic plot thickens as the claims extend to businessman Darshan Hiranandani, hinting at a web of cash, questions, and political tug-of-war!

In a letter teeming with accusations, Dubey reaches out to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, accusing the TMC MP Moitra of not just breach of parliamentary privilege but goes as far as calling it contempt of the House and a larger criminal conspiracy. Every word in that letter drips with intent, pointing fingers and raising more than a few eyebrows.

But, is there any truth to these sensational claims? Ms Moitra, seemingly confident, says she welcomes “any kind of inquiry.” One can only wonder what lies beneath this iceberg of allegations.

Business or Politics? Where does the Hiranandani Group Stand?

Adding another layer to this high-stakes drama, the Hiranandani Group swiftly steps in to quash the allegations. With a statement clear as day, they said the allegations hold “no merit”. As they emphasize their intent, “We have always been in the business of business and not in the business of politics,” the message is crystal clear. However, Dubey in his explosive letter hints at a deeper game at play – suggesting that the core of Ms Moitra’s questions was to safeguard the business interests of the Hiranandani Group after their loss of energy and infra contract to the Adani Group.

Allegations, Money, and a Trail of Questions

Dubey’s letter unfolds like a suspense novel, indicating that Mahua Moitra received a whopping ₹ 2 crore, expensive gifts like iPhones, and even ₹ 75 lakh to contest elections. With claims that between 2019 and 2023, a staggering fifty out of the 61 questions posed by the MP were influenced by Hiranandani, it draws a complex picture. Dubey’s letter, backed by “painstaking research” by advocate Jai Anand Dehadrai, alleges a deeper connection where the businessman had direct access to her Lok Sabha account.

As the political landscape rumbles, Dubey stirs the pot further by drawing parallels with the 2005 “cash for questions” scandal. With suspense, drama, and politics intertwining, one thing’s clear: This is just the tip of the iceberg, and only time will reveal the depth of these sensational claims!
