Over the recent Goddess Kali controversy, Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra unfollowed the official Twitter handle of the TMC after the party condemned her statement over Kaali. It must be noteworthy here that the MP was responding to a question on the row over a poster showing Goddess Kali smoking a cigarette.

The Trinmool Congress Party while reacting to Mahua’s statement said that the party do not endorse such views and distanced itself from her comments. The party while condemning her views also issued an official statement on their twitter account as well and wrote “The comments made by @MahuaMoitra at the #IndiaTodayConclaveEast2022 and her views expressed on Goddess Kali have been made in her personal capacity and are NOT ENDORSED BY THE PARTY in ANY MANNER OR FORM

Mahua post to this incident unfloowed the offcial account of the party on Twitter and now follows Moitra now follows only TMC supremo and Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee.

What did she say?
Recently filmmaker Leena Manimekalai shared a poster of her film on social media. In the poster, an actress, dressed in the costume of Durga(Goddess Kali) was seen smoking a cigarette in the poster. Mahua, while responding to the controversy at India Today Conclave supported the idea of offering liberty to imagine one’s deity in their own way and said, “Kaali to me, is a meat-eating, alcohol-accepting goddess. You have the freedom to imagine your goddess.

The TMC MP, known for her fiercely style of speaking further added that there are some places where people offer whiskey to Goddess Kaali whereas it would fall under the category of blasphemy in other places.

Never backed any film- Mahua

Mahua too while responding to the controversy wrote on her Twitter account that she never backed any film or its poster and advised to visit Maa Kali in Tarapith.


To all you sanghis- lying will NOT make you better hindus. I NEVER backed any film or poster or mentioned the word smoking. Suggest you visit my Maa Kali in Tarapith to see what food & drink is offered as bhog.
