"Had the Congress been able to defeat the BJP, there would be no need for us (to contest the Assembly polls). However, since Congress failed to win the state, we had to step forward to provide an alternative to the people. The TMC is the only alternative (against the BJP)", said Moitra
"BJP is saying how can I use such a word being woman, do I need to be a man to be able to give it back as good as it gets? So there's patriarchy," Mahua said.
In a tweet, Mahua Moitra claimed, "SBI says Adani group owes it ₹27000 crores - a whopping 27% of its loan book. Finance Secretary says it is a storm in a cup."
Responding to Mahua Moitra's tirade, Nirmala Sitharaman questioned her over the widespread arson, looting, and rapes during the post-poll violence in Bengal.
