Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra on Sunday celebrated the fact that one of her supporters had abused Prime Minister Narendra Modi in vile language while she was campaigning for the Shantipur by-election.
Mahua Moitra said that an old man, halfway through his bath, rushed out to meet her and said, “LPG hazaar taka- ei b@#**d Modi ke hatao!” It roughly translates to, “LPG gas costs 1000 rupees, get rid of b@#**d Modi”.
While the Trinamool MP did not explicitly state what the abuse was, one can clearly decipher that it is a woman-centric abuse related to sisters.
Mahua Moitra thought the abuse was “priceless” and considered it as evidence that BJP’s days in power were numbered. The comment attracted the condemnation of people from social media.
A. The cuss word used here is definitely denigrating women and you seem to enjoy it instead of correcting that man. Feminism said bye

B. He is the PM of India. He represents the country irrespective of the fact you voted for him or not. Have some respect.
C. You are sick. https://t.co/1AtqjoDH1t

Others said that if such words were used by a BJP leader, then the entire opposition and media would have caused an uproar.
Imagine if such a tweet was posted by a BJP leader, the entire opposition & media could have cried bitterly for hours.

This hypocrite lady claims to be working for women empowerment, but enjoys people abusing Modi. https://t.co/si2syOfNHG
This is not the first time that the Trinamool MP has crossed the line with regards to people she disagrees with.
During a previous debate with Arnab Goswami, she had showed the Republic TV Editor-in-Chief the middle finger. On another occasion, she was accused of assaulting a constable at the Silchar Airport in Assam.
Her antics on Twitter have earned her great notoriety as well. She had once called Brahmins ‘chotiwala rakshasas’.
