The general secretary of BJP’s West Bengal unit said that if the charges are proven after an inquiry, TMC leader Mahua Moitra should be expelled from MP’s post.

“Nishikant Dubey is putting the allegations that Mahua Moitra has been taking money or bribes in kind or cash from some Mr Hiranandani in exchange for raising particular questions in Parliament. We want to know if Mahua Moitra has taken a bribe. Let there be an inquiry and if it is proved, let her be expelled from the MP's post. We want an investigation," the BJP MLA from Asansol South said.

Earlier in the day, Nishikant Dubey, BJP MP, wrote a letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla making “cash for query” allegations against TMC MP Moitra and demanded an inquiry committee against her.
