A police complaint has already been lodged against her, and now the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has circulated a new video of one of her speeches, the authenticity of which remains unverified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The video, shared by BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya on Sunday, allegedly shows Moitra speaking at a meeting in Karimpur-2 block on August 28. In it, she is heard making comments about the voting behavior of Namasudra and Matua communities. Malviya described her remarks as a direct insult to these groups and a \u201cscathing attack\u201d on their identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the video, Moitra appears to express frustration that, despite benefitting from several welfare schemes, sections of the electorate continue to vote against the Trinamool Congress. Referring to Scheduled Caste and Matua booths, she is heard saying: <em>\u201cIf there are 100 voters at every SC booth, Namasudra booth, Matua booth, 85 are BJP votes, 15 are from other parties. Mamata at work, Mamata on the road\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The controversy deepened when she allegedly remarked about a community: <em>\u201cThey come wearing wooden garlands to take allowance, but what happens at the time of voting? It may sound bad, but I am telling the truth.\u201d<\/em> She also referred to the state\u2019s <em>Lakshmi Bhandar<\/em> scheme during her comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leader of Opposition in the Assembly, Shuvendu Adhikari, strongly condemned Moitra\u2019s remarks, echoing the BJP\u2019s charge that her statements were derogatory and offensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Trinamool Congress is yet to issue an official response, but the row is expected to intensify with political stakes high in West Bengal ahead of the next round of elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">On 28th August, at a Trinamool workers\u2019 meet in Karimpur Block-2, TMC MP Mahua Moitra made shocking and shameful remarks against Sanatanis, specifically targeting the Namasudra community.<br><br>She mocked Hindus by saying: \u201cAll year you\u2019re Trinamooli, and during elections Sanatani?\u201d \u2014\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/J4s0V9YKlL\">pic.twitter.com\/J4s0V9YKlL<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Amit Malviya (@amitmalviya) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/amitmalviya\/status\/1961992545044668533?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 31, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kolkata, Aug 2025 : Trinamool Congress MP from Krishnanagar, Mahua Moitra, has once again found herself at the center of controversy, just days after criticism of her comments on Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
