The opposition came down heavily on the BJP after vocal TMC MP Mahua Moitra was expelled from the Lok Sabha over cash-for-query charges without being allowed to defend herself. "They cannot tolerate a woman in power. How did they think this expulsion was enough to mute her...In 2024, she will contest elections," said TMC's Shashi Panja. Congress MP Manickam Tagore alleged, "Whoever speaks against Adani will be silenced...Mahua is a perfect example." Calling it a "planned conspiracy", he said, "Democracy failed today...this is like third emergency." Congress' Shashi Tharoor termed it a "good sign for the future," expressing hope that Moitra will be re-elected with a bigger majority.
