Mahua Moitra is currently serving her second term as the Lok Sabha MP from Krishnanagar, West Bengal. She was re-elected in 2024 after defeating BJP's Amrita Roy, having earlier defeated Kalyan Chaubey in 2019.

Accused in cash-for-query case

Mahua Moitra is accused of accepting bribes from businessman Darshan Hiranandani in return for asking his questions in the Parliament. She is also accused of sharing her parliamentary login-credentials with the businessman.

Mahua Moitra has denied accepting bribes. She claimed she had shared the credentials to have the businessman's staff type out her parliamentary queries on the official portal.

In December 2023, however, Mahua Moitra was expelled from the Lok Sabha for "unethical conduct".

Mahua Moitra has challenged her expulsion in the Supreme Court.

Who is Pinaki Misra?

Pinaki Misra is a senior leader of the Biju Janata Dal and has represented the Puri constituency in Odisha. He was previously married to Sangeeta Misra, with whom he has two children.
