New Delhi: Hinting that she would escalate the attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government in the Lok Sabha, Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Mahua Moitra on Thursday tweeted a dare to what she called the “heckler team” of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to prepare for her speech.
“Am speaking this evening in Lok Sabha on President’s Address. Just wanted to give early heads up to @BJP to get heckler team ready & read up on imaginary points of order. Drink some gaumutra shots too,” she tweeted.
Moitra’s comments assume significance as her party colleague Saugata Roy had earlier on Wednesday accused the Centre of appointing the Governors, who work at odds with the state governments.
