Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra calls “anti-constitutional” bills that would allow for removal of Prime Minister, chief ministers, and ministers if they are jailed for more than 30 days on serious charges. It could allow BJP to topple governments on the basis of arrest, she says. Speaking to ThePrint, Moitra attacks the ruling NDA over ‘misuse’ of ED and CBI, calling BJP a “temple to the corrupt”. The Lok Sabha MP alleges that the Election Commission has become a wing of BJP, describes SIR exercise in Bihar as a “circus”. Moitra also hit out at the Centre over the 59% shrimp tariff, ‘anti-Bengali’ campaign, and says “Bangladeshi is not a dirty word”.
EC should move into BJP office, says Mahua Moitra, adds ‘BJP has become a temple to the corrupt’
