Nishikant Dubey alleged that Mahua Moitra accepted a bribe in exchange for posing questions in the Lok Sabha.
On Wednesday, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey stated that the Lokpal has ordered a CBI probe against TMC MP Mahua Moitra based on his complaint of alleged corruption by her. This comes after Dubey accused Moitra of targeting the Adani Group and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in her Lok Sabha questions at the behest of businessman Darshan Hiranandani, in exchange for gifts. The Ethics Committee of the Lok Sabha is currently investigating the matter. Moitra has denied receiving any pecuniary benefit.
In a post on X, Dubey claimed, “On my complaint, Lokpal today ordered a CBI inquiry against accused Mahua Moitra for indulging in corruption at the cost of national security.” However, there has been no official confirmation from the Lokpal.
Moitra responded on X, “For the media calling me- my answer: 1. CBI needs to first file FIR on Rs 13,000 crore Adani coal scam. 2. National security issue is how dodgy FPI owned (inc Chinese & UAE ) Adani firms buying Indian ports & airports with the Home Minister office’s clearance. Then CBI welcome to come, count my shoes.” On October 21, Dubey filed a complaint with the anti-corruption ombudsman Lokpal against Moitra, accusing her of taking bribes to raise questions in Parliament. He also accused Moitra of compromising national security for monetary gains.
