Mahua Moitra was expelled from the previous Lok Sabha last December on cash-for-query charges.
Hitting out at the Centre for suspending her from the last Lok Sabha session, Trinamool MP Mahua Moitra claimed the termination of her House membership had cost the BJP 63 seats in the general election.
Mahua, who was expelled from the previous Lok Sabha last December on cash-for-query charges, said, “ Much like Lord Krishna protected Draupadi, the people of Krishnanagar have protected me.
You lost your membership, you lost your (Delhi) house’ and — by the way — I also lost my uterus to a surgery,” she said.
"The BJP's 'raj tantra' has been reduced by the 'lok tantra' of this country.

Mahua, who was expelled from the previous Lok Sabha last December on cash-for-query charges, said, “ Much like Lord Krishna protected Draupadi, the people of Krishnanagar have protected me. In the last year, a lot of people looked at me and said, ‘Oh Mahua, you must have lost a lot. You lost your membership, you lost your (Delhi) house’ and — by the way — I also lost my uterus to a surgery,” she said. “But you know what I gained?”

Moitra was speaking during a discussion on the Motion of Thanks to the President's address to a joint sitting of Parliament.
She said she gained “what Rahulji said (was) freedom from fear”. “I do not fear you. We will see the end of you. Your ED, your CBI, your income-tax (department), your trolls, your media, your bought-out judges, nobody can scare us,” she said.
She also hit out at PM Modi for claiming in Parliament in the past that he alone overweighed the Opposition, counting the number of constituencies from where the BJP had lost in 2024 after the Prime Minister campaigned there.
Moitra also condemned the installation of the Sengol in Parliament, terming it a symbol of monarchy.
"The BJP's 'raj tantra' has been reduced by the 'lok tantra' of this country. This is not a stable government. It depends on multiple allies who have a history of U-turns. We are 234 warriors this time, having walked on fire. You will not be able to treat us like last time," she said.
Moitra challenged the government's claims of women empowerment.

"This is a complete untruth. You delayed reservation in Parliament because you fear 'naari shakti'. There are just 74 women MPs this time, with the BJP having only 30 out of 240. In contrast, the TMC had 37 per cent women MPs last time and 38 per cent this time. While we have empowered three lakh 'lakhpati didis', the BJP seems focused on creating 'arabpati dadas'," Moitra said.
