‘Dubai didi’: Nishikant Dubey attacks Mahua Moitra over cross-examination demand

New Delhi: Amid the ongoing row over ‘cash for query’ charges against TMC MP Mahua Moitra, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Nishikant Dubey on Saturday alleged that attempts are being made to influence the witness Darshan Hiranandani in the case. “According to the information, Darshan Hiranandani and Dubai Didi (MP Mahua Moitra) are in touch. An attempt is being made to influence the witness @loksabhaspeaker to take action,” Nishikant Dubey said in a post on X.

Mahua Moitra in a televised interview with India Today on Friday accepted that she gave her Parliament login and password to Darshan Hiranandani, the CEO of the Hiranandani Group,  as there is no rule as to who can have the login and who can not and no MP puts the questions themselves. The login and the passwords remain with their team. “But then an OTP comes and it comes to my phone only.

It does not go to Darshan’s phone. Only when I provide the OTP, the questions are submitted,” Mahua Moitra said dismissing all charges brought against her by advocate Jai Anant Dehadrai and BJP MP Nishikant Dubey.
