After TMC leader Kunal Ghosh stated that the party "won't say anything" on bribery allegations against TMC MP Mahua Moitra, BJP leader Amit Malviya said, "It's not surprising that [West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee] has abandoned Mahua." Claiming Mamata would only defend her nephew and TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee, he added, "Several TMC leaders are in jail...but Mamata...maintained radio silence."
