TMC MP Mahua Moitra Hides Her Louis Vuitton (LV) Bag Worth $2000 As Mehengai Is Debated In Lok Sabha, Video Goes Viral On Twitter
The term ‘mehengai’ was the cue to slip down the Louis Vuitton. I feel so sorryy for Mahua fans. 🤐🤦🏻♀️ Choosing this woman as your face of “freedom of speech (read:hypocrisy) & all that woke crapdom”?
No need to dig up on anything. Your actions & lives are a meme. #MahuaMoitra https://t.co/2EEmfiuMXQ— Avantika Gupta (@iAvantikaGupta) August 1, 2022

When Dr Kakoli of the TMC stands to speak at 15:15 in the video above, Mahua Moitra, who is seated next to her, picks up her bag, which is said to be a Louis Vuitton and sets it near her feet, away from the cameras.
The video clip quickly gained popularity as many on media platforms questioned how one of the Trinamool Congress party lawmakers, who has been criticizing the government over inflation, could possibly be carrying such a pricey purse to parliament. According to online fashion magazines and blogs, Moitra’s designer handbags are priced at about Rs 1.6 lakh.
The House reportedly had to adjourn the current meeting in order to consider and resolve the problem of a pricey bag carried into parliament. Many members questioned her about why she brought such a pricey purse to the official location. Later, she gave a medical justification for her actions. The same topic is likely to be discussed in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday.
