All India Trinamool Congress Lok Sabha MP Mahua Moitra on February 20 held rallies at Phulbari and South Tura constituencies and urged people not to fall into the trap of NPP-BJP.

Addressing a rally at South Tura, Moitra asked people to be careful about BJP-NPP as their allegations against each other are mere political gimmicks.

While taking a jibe at NPP and BJP, Moitra said, “They were all together – the BJP and NPP. Today, Conrad might say, that Amit Shah is very bad, and then Amit Shah might say that Conrad Sangma is very bad. But as soon as the election gets over, they will become brothers again. I urge people not to fall in their trap”.
