Kolkata: Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra found herself at the center of a social media storm following a recent interview where her response to a question about her morning energy source sparked widespread debate. Moitra's answer, which some interpreted as 'sex' and others as 'eggs', triggered a flurry of reactions and discussions online.

The ambiguity surrounding Moitra's response and the subsequent varying interpretations quickly gained traction on social media platforms. While some individuals found humor in the situation, others raised concerns about the appropriateness of Moitra's answer, particularly given the context of the interview.

In an effort to address the controversy, journalist Tamal Saha, who conducted the interview, took to Twitter to clarify that Moitra had indeed responded with 'eggs' as her source of energy, not 'sex'. Saha expressed frustration over the distortion of Moitra's words and suggested deliberate tampering with the audio to create confusion.

The incident prompted responses from various quarters, including Congress spokesperson Mita Chakraborty, who condemned the manipulation of Moitra's interview response. Chakraborty emphasized that Moitra had clearly stated 'eggs' as her energy source and criticized the dissemination of false information to target the MP.

Additionally, D-Intent Data, the Propaganda and Fake News Detection Centre, a news data research organization focusing on neutral fact-checking and intent analysis, weighed in on the controversy. They shared their analysis, affirming that Moitra's response had been misrepresented, with the intention of targeting her politically.
