The Kalyan Banerjee-Mahua Moitra Feud: A TMC StormThe Trinamool Congress (TMC) is reeling from a public spat between MPs Kalyan Banerjee and Mahua Moitra, which led to Banerjee’s resignation as Lok Sabha Chief Whip on August 4, 2025. Banerjee, a four-time MP from Serampore and seasoned lawyer, and Moitra, the fiery Krishnanagar MP and former banker, have clashed over professional disagreements and personal attacks. The feud ignited in April 2025 outside the Election Commission, where Moitra, upset over her exclusion from a TMC memorandum, reportedly asked security to “arrest” Banerjee, who called her “rude” and “uncivilized.” Tensions escalated in June 2025 when Moitra criticized Banerjee’s remarks on a Kolkata rape case as “misogynistic,” prompting his retort: “She has broken up a family of 40 years and married a 65-year-old guy. And she is saying I am anti-women.” Moitra’s marriage to former BJD MP Pinaki Misra in May 2025 became a flashpoint, with her responding, “My marriage is my choice, and I don’t owe anyone explanations.” The feud peaked when Moitra likened Banerjee to a “pig” in a podcast, leading him to resign, stating, “Her comment is dehumanizing. I owe the nation an apology for supporting her.” As TMC navigates this internal rift, the Banerjee-Moitra clash highlights the volatile mix of politics and personal lives.Read the full article on BUDDHA-369 for insights into their careers, Moitra’s love life, and TMC’s future.
