Mamata Banerjee’s close aide and MP Mahua Moitra has expressed her pain over the political turmoil within the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in Bengal. Mahua appeared very emotional about the party’s young MP from Jadavpur, Sayoni Ghosh, joining the rebel group and now she has come out in Ghosh’s defence.

In an interview given to The Indian Express, Mahua, while referring to Sayoni, said that her departure has deeply hurt me personally. He said that ability and hard work matter, but loyalty is very important. Some things have hurt me very much. She (Sayoni) is like my daughter, like my sister. If someone else had left the party, I would not have felt any pain. She is my daughter’s age and I love her the same way.

Mahua described Sayoni as different from everyone else. She said that I can guarantee that she is not a disloyal or taking advantage person. She has no interest in money as she leads a very simple life and is always working. Praising Sayoni’s ability, Mahua said that she has risen from zero to reach here. He is a very kind person.

Mahua told why Sayoni left the party
On Sayoni’s rebellion against TMC, Mahua said that fear could be a major reason behind this. Maybe it’s a combination of fear and other things. She further said that I don’t know what the real thing is, but my advice to such people is that I know you are scared, but unless we overcome fear, we cannot win anything. Everyone has their own destiny, but my advice to him would be to overcome fear, there is still a lot of life ahead.

‘Did the party not give anything to Sayoni?’
Mahua Moitra also expressed disappointment that the party which gave Sayoni such a huge political stature in such a short time, leaving her is very disturbing. He reminded that Sayoni had joined TMC only in 2021. In these 5 years, the party gave him MLA ticket, made him National Youth President and gave him ticket from a prestigious seat like Jadavpur in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

Mahua clearly said that everything is fine in politics, but it hurts the most when one’s own people turn away like this. Expressing his pain, he said that when Sayoni can turn suddenly like this, then whom will you trust? When such people think of jumping from a ship, it is very disturbing.
