TMC MP Mahua Moitra Alleges Late-Night Pressure to Leave Circuit House
TMC MP Mahua Moitra alleged that West Bengal’s Nadia district administration asked her to vacate a state-run circuit house late at night after she had been allotted accommodation, calling the move an attempt to harass her.
Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra on Friday alleged that the Nadia district administration in West Bengal directed her to vacate a local circuit house late at night despite having initially been allotted a room at the state-owned property.
Moitra said she had moved into the circuit house for an overnight stay after attending a Parliament session. According to her allegation, district authorities later asked her to leave the premises in the middle of the night.
The Krishnanagar MP further claimed that a large crowd gathered outside the circuit house after she declined to vacate the accommodation. She alleged that people outside were raising “Jai Shree Ram” slogans.
Moitra asserted in a social media post that, as an elected Member of Parliament, she was entitled to use the government facility. She alleged that the district authorities were pressuring her to leave with the intention of causing harassment.
The allegations come amid continuing political differences in West Bengal, with the incident involving questions over the use of government accommodation and the treatment of an elected public representative.
The claims made by Moitra represent her account of the incident. The information provided does not include an independent response from the Nadia district administration regarding the alleged eviction order or the circumstances surrounding the crowd outside the circuit house.
