Mahua Moitra’s Interview Video Viral

In the viral clip, she can seen sitting on the open-roof vehicle along with other people during her campaigning in her Lok Sabha constituency Krishnanagar. A question was asked- What is her source of energy?  to which she replies something that makes people laugh as can be seen in the video.

He further added,

“Let me clarify since this is my interview. I asked @MahuaMoitra: What’s your source of energy in the morning? Mahua Moitra replied: EGGS …(anda) This is ridiculous how the bhakt mandali has distorted it to make it sound like sex. The audio is being tampered with deliberately,” 

Mahua Moitra is facing a probe for a cash-for-question case by the Central Bureau of Investigation.

Back on 8 December, she was expelled from Lok Sabha as a Member of Parliament (MP) after the Ethics panel’s determination of her guilt in the ‘cash-for-query’ case.
