She was expelled as a member of Lok Sabha after the Ethics panel found her guilty in the 'cash-for-query' case. BJP MP Nishikant Dubey had accused Moitra of asking questions in Lok Sabha to target Adani Group and Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the behest of businessman Darshan Hiranandani in exchange for gifts. He had also accused Moitra of compromising national security for monetary gains.
Moitra has denied any wrongdoing and claimed she was being targeted as she had raised questions on the deals of the Adani group."Neither has Lok Pal uploaded any referral order on website as per Lokpal Act & nor has CBI put out anything official. "Sources" telling journos as per usual media circus. Hope ₹13,000 crore Adani coal scam merits CBI PE before my witchhunt," Moitra had said on X in November.
