In Indian politics, a business tycoon has found himself embroiled in a controversy as the rivalry between the ruling BJP government and the Trinamool Congress in West Bengal has reached a new level.
Recently, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey accused Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra of taking bribes to raise questions in Parliament.
According to Dubey, it was Darshan Hiranandani, son of Indian billionaire businessman Niranjan Hiranandani, who gave Moitra a bribe in return for her raising the specific question in Parliament.

Dubey wrote a letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and urged the “immediate suspension” of TMC MP from the House, alleging that “bribes were exchanged between her and businessman Darshan Hiranandani to raise questions in Parliament in exchange for cash and gifts”.
The businessman has acknowledged claims that he used the TMC MP’s credentials to raise questions about the Adani group himself.
