Trinamool Congress (TMC) has made a significant move by appointing Mahua Moitra as the district president of Krishnanagar (Nadia North), as announced by Moitra on X (formerly Twitter). This development occurs amidst the ongoing 'cash for query' scandal, where Moitra faces scrutiny for alleged financial improprieties in the Lok Sabha, leading to recommendations from the Lok Sabha Ethics Committee for the cancellation of her membership.

The Trinamool Congress's decision to appoint Mahua Moitra as the district president of Krishnanagar (Nadia North) is notable, considering the timing and the current political climate. Moitra, facing allegations in the 'cash for query' scandal, expressed gratitude for the appointment, emphasizing her commitment to working for the people of Krishnanagar. This strategic move within the TMC raises speculations about the party's preparations for the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

In the backdrop of the 'cash for query' controversy, where Moitra is accused of receiving monetary benefits in exchange for Parliament login details, the Lok Sabha Ethics Committee has recommended the cancellation of her membership. Despite rejecting these claims and criticizing the committee, this recent appointment adds an additional layer of complexity to the political dynamics surrounding Mahua Moitra and the TMC.
