Mr A has topi pehnau-ed India: Mahua Moitra on Adani row - India Today

By India Today Web Desk: Trinamool MP Mahua Moitra, in a stinging attack on the government over the Adani row, said "A, the billionaire businessman," has'topi pehnau-ed' or duped the country.

Participating in the debate on the 'Motion of Thanks to the President's Address' in Lok Sabha, Mahua Moitra said a famous person whose name starts with 'A' and ends with 'I', who stinks of crony capitalism, has duped everyone.

Her remark led to an angry exchange between Trinamool and BJP MPs as she used an offensive word once her speech concluded.

The fiery speech was aided by props as Moitra brought two birthday caps into the House to press her argument that the businessman being most talked about had"topi pehnau-ed" Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.

She demanded that an inquiry be ordered into the activities of the Adani Group and the allegations raised by Hindenburg Research.
