Why Mahua Moitra and Nishikant Dubey were part of the same committee and often locked horns?
Reportedly the appointment of BJP’s jharkhand mp Nishikant Dubey as chairman of the standing committee for information, technology, and communication has not gone down well with the trinamool congress, with the party approaching the lok sabha Speaker to change the committee of its fiery mp Mahua Moitra to avoid a confrontation between the two leaders.Perhaps when taking to social media to discuss his new role and explain how a committee can be run only with cooperation between the ruling party and the Opposition, Dubey said: “By making me the Chairman of the Standing Committee on Information Technology, Post and Information Broadcasting of the Parliament, the Honorable prime minister Narendra Modi and lok sabha speaker Chairman have entrusted me with a big responsibility.Moreover the feud between Dubey and Moitra can be traced to the former’s role in pursuing a case against the trinamool congress leader for allegedly sharing her lok sabha log-in credentials with businessman Darshan Hiranandani. The incident had led to furore in the house and after an ethic panels submitted its report to the lok sabha Speaker about her conduct, the TMC mp was expelled just a few months before the 2024 lok sabha elections. However, she contested the polls from Bengal’s Krishnanagar and returned victorious to the Lok Sabha. In the last lok sabha term, both Moitra and Dubey were part of the same committee. The two would often lock horns, especially when shashi tharoor was the chairman.
