“Today I am really sad to see the attitude of BJP party. A 475 page report was submitted and after that they have half an hour time to go through it. I congratulate INDIA alliance that they supported her. Party fully supports Mahua Moitra. They didn’t allow Mahua to defend herself. It is betrayal of Constitutional rights. We have two third majority in Assembly does it mean we will expel someone,” said Ms. Banerjee.
“Mahua is a victim of circumstances and party is fully behind Mahua. I am shocked and it is sad day for Parliament. It is unacceptable and Mahua will win the battle. They will be defeated in next elections,” the TMC supremo added.
Asked whether Ms. Moitra will be given ticket in next Lok Sabha polls.
“No reason why Mahua will not be given ticket in next elections. Party had made her district president,” the Chief Minister added.
