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.
