TMC MP Mahua Moitra claims Nadia administration ordered her to vacate circuit house

Kolkata: TMC MP Mahua Moitra has claimed the district administration of West Bengal's Nadia ordered her to vacate the local circuit house late at night, after she was initially allotted a room at the state-owned property.

Moitra, who moved into the property for her overnight stay following a Parliament session, alleged that large crowds had gathered outside the premises on Friday night shouting 'Jai Shree Ram' after she refused to leave.

In a social media post, Moitra, a Mamata Banerjee loyalist, asserted that as an elected MP, she was entitled to use the facility, but was being pressured by the district authorities to move out in the middle of the night with the intent to harass her.


"The room was given to me was properly made-up and I was even served my dinner here. I moved in at around 6.15 pm and since 10 o'clock the district administration is sending me messages to vacate the room," Moitra said in a video message on X.

"I told them that I am obviously not going to move out and now I have received an order from the district authorities asking me to move out," she said in the message, which she claimed was recorded around 11 pm.

The Krishnanagar MP alleged that a large crowd had gathered outside the premises and shouted slogans with an intent to intimidate her.

"The Supreme Court had asked me to face the people on the ground like a freedom fighter and I am doing just that," Moitra said, declaring her resolve to not back down.

Moitra was referring to the apex court's observations in connection with a petition she moved seeking protection from the crowd culture of repeated attacks and pelting of eggs at TMC leaders.

"The Calcutta High Court had told me that the district administration would provide me protection, and yet it is the same authority that's ordering me to move out and harass me," she said.

Moitra also posted the order she received from the Nezarath deputy collector of Nadia.

"In view of facilitating the annual maintenances cum upkeep and cleaning arrangements, the Nadia circuit house (at Krishnanagar) shall not be available for service from the evening of August 14, 2026, till further orders," the purported order stated.

"Reservations already confirmed prior to 13th August, 2026 only shall be exempted from the general purview of this order," it added.

No immediate response on the development was received from the Nadia district authorities.
