Mahua Moitra & Pinaki Misra Wedding Reception Sparks Political Row
A politician named Mahua Moitra and her husband, Pinaki Misra, had a big party in West Bengal to celebrate their wedding.
The party was held at a public sports field and about 6,000 people attended.
A politician from the BJP party got upset and said it wasn't right to use a public field for a private party.
He also claimed that a lot of money was spent on decorations and that it caused problems for local people and bus services.
Politicians from Mahua Moitra's party, the TMC, said the BJP was just trying to cause trouble.
They explained that they had gotten all the needed permission to use the field and that the couple paid for all the party expenses themselves.

The event took place at the Karimpur Regulated Market Ground and was attended by around 6,000 guests.
BJP leader Krishanu Singha accused the couple of misusing government property and facilities for a private function.
