Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra on Wednesday sparked a fresh controversy while sharing a post showing the arrest of Bangladesh’s former poll commissioner in an election-manipulation case.
‘Things to come’
She wrote on X “Things to come” over a story of the arrest of a former poll commissioner in Bangladesh. It was an apparent reference after the India bloc alleged that the Election Commission is “hand in gloves with the ruling BJP to rig the polls.”
BJP was quick to retort over her post, stating that “she was speaking like an enemy of the nation.”
‘Moitra is speaking like an enemy’
As per The Times of India, BJP leader Shehzad Poonawalla said, “Mahua Moitra is an MP, but she is speaking like an enemy of the nation. Is she trying to say that India’s democracy is like that of Bangladesh?”
Congress alleged ‘vote chori‘
Earlier, Congress MP Jairam Ramesh blamed “vote chori” for Mahagathbandhan’s defeat, calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and the Election Commission “masterminds” behind it.
Jairam Ramesh said that Congress remain committed to its campaign to “protect the Constitution and save democracy. “
‘Bihar mandate was manipulated’
“Without doubt, the election results in Bihar reflect vote chori on a gigantic scale – masterminded by the PM, the HM, and the Election Commission,” Jairam Ramesh said.
“The Indian National Congress renews its resolve to continue with even greater strength its campaign to protect the Constitution and save our democracy,” he added.
