TMC MP Mahua Moitra becomes District President of Nadia amid cash for query row

Trinamool Congress appointed party MP Mahua Moitra as Nadia (Krishnanagar) District President on Monday ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, sending a message that it stands by her, amid controversy over the Ethics Committee's recommendations about her expulsion as Member of Parliament.

Following her new political appointment, Moitra took to her X handle and said, "Thank you @MamataOfficial and @AITCofficial for appointing me District President of Krishnanagar (Nadia North). Will always work with the party for the people of Krishnanagar." Moitra was caught in major controversy over past few weeks over allegations of "cash for questions" case.

On Monday, Trinamool Congress announced a revised list of district presidents for the state's 35 organizational districts. By appointing Moitra as the district President of Nadia (North), party top leadership has sent the message that it stands by her and has faith in her leadership.


Moitra, who was the district president in Krishnanagar and was removed in a reshuffle earlier, has now been reinstated as the district president of Krishnanagar (Nadia North) organizational district, ahead of Lok Sabha polls.

The Lok Sabha Ethics committee has recently submitted its report on the 'cash-for-questions' allegation against Moitra to Speaker Om Birla's office. The Committee has recommended Moitra's expulsion from the House.
