‘If Sayoni Ghosh can go then who can be trusted…’, what did Mahua Moitra say on TMC crisis?

Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra has said that within a month of coming to power in West Bengal, the party has completely broken down. MPs and MLAs are leaving the party in large numbers. Mahua Moitra gave two main reasons for this. First, there is no limit to greed and betrayal. Second, the Bharatiya Janata Party has become dejected after not getting two-thirds majority in the Lok Sabha.

Mahua Moitra claimed in an interview with Indian Express that BJP wants to get 40-50 MPs not through elections but by breaking parties. He said that BJP is spreading rumors of fear of agencies, ban on business and anger against TMC. He has also said that he did not expect Sayoni Ghosh to take a rebellious tone out of fear.

Mahua Moitra, MP, TMC:-
Some things have really hurt me. Sayoni is like my daughter and my sister. If someone else had gone, I wouldn’t have felt sad. But when I look at her, it seems that she is of my daughter’s age.
