Kolkata : The two Trinamool Congress MPs are once again training their guns on each other over the former’s controversial remarks in the Kolkata law college rape case. This time around, Kalyan Banerjee has taken a dig at Moitra’s personal life, targeting her marriage by saying that she broke up the family of a man who had been married for 40 years – referring to her marriage with Odisha’s BJD ex-MP Pinaki Misra.
Mahua has come back to India after her honeymoon and started fighting with me! She accuses me of being anti woman, that what is she? She has broken up a 40-year marriage and married a guy who is 65 years old. Did she not hurt the lady?, he asked. An MP who was expelled from parliament for breach of ethics is preaching me! She is the most anti-woman. She only knows how to secure her future and how to make money, he further said.
In a blatant case of survivor-shaming, Kalyan Banerjee said that women should be aware of who they are going out with. Those who are roaming around with such people should understand whom they are accompanying, Bengal’s ruling party MP told reporters in Kolkata, shortly after the incident came to light on Friday.
On April 4, 2025, both MPs were embroiled in a bitter spat at the Election Commission of India office in New Delhi. According to sources, the altercation spiraled out of control, with Moitra allegedly asking security personnel to arrest him. The disagreement stemmed from Moitra’s name reportedly being struck off a TMC party memorandum to the poll body.
