'Bribe for question' row: BJP MP moves Lokpal against Mahua Moitra
Hindustan TimesBJP MP Nishikant Dubey on Saturday filed a complaint with the anti-corruption ombudsman Lokpal against TMC MP Mahua Moitra, accusing her of taking bribes to raise questions in Parliament. Moitra hit back saying Adani's dealings are related to national security and "not email ID that every PA & every unchecked intern team of every MP has publicly & accesses at will". Dubey has accused Moitra of accepting bribes and favours for asking questions in Lok Sabha at the behest of businessman Darshan Hiranandani to target the Adani Group and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In a signed affidavit submitted to the committee, Hiranandani has admitted to using Moitra's parliamentary login to ask questions targeting Adani after state-owned behemoth Indian Oil Corporation booked capacity at the Gujarat-based conglomerate's Dhamra LNG import facility in Odisha and not at his firm's planned facility. "Adani may use BJP agencies to browbeat competition and buy airports but just try doing it with me," Moitra had said on October 15 after the allegations surfaced.
