Opposition MP Mahua Moitra has been brutally trolled on Twitter after being found hiding her reported $2,500 Louis Vuitton bag while participating in a parliamentary debate on inflation on Monday.
In a video clip, Trinamool Congress (TMC) Parliamentarian Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar is seen raising the issue of inflation while Moitra is sitting beside her. As soon as Dastidar raises the topic of rising prices, Moitra immediately puts her Louis Vuitton bag below the table where it isn't visible to the cameras installed in the lower house, the Lok Sabha.

"It's okay to own a Louis Vuitton but to hide it under the table as soon as debate on inflation starts is fakery of another level," a netizen tweeted.
"TMC= Too Much Corruption," another said, referring to Moitra's party.
"The term ‘mehengai’ (inflation) was the cue to slip down the Louis Vuitton. I feel so sorry 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 and lives are a meme," a third declared.
"TMC's fake face #MahuaMoitra exposed! When the debate on inflation was going on in Parliament, Mahua Moitra was seen hiding a bag worth about two lakh rupees of Louis Vuitton company!", a fourth claimed.
India's inflation rate has remained over the seven percent mark for the past seven months, well beyond the Reserve Bank of India's tolerance band of six percent in 2022, and the central bank is expected to raise rates once again later this month.
