Nishikant Dubey

Dubey is known for his fiery speeches in the Parliament. Recently, he launched a scathing attack on Indian National Congress (INC) with his speech in the Lok Sabha in which he accused the Congress of collaborating with anti-nationals and China to divide the country and create anarchy.

In another startling allegation last year, Dubey wrote to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla alleging that Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra took bribes for raising questions in Parliament to “protect the interest of a business group”. He urged the Speaker to set up a committee to probe the allegations and sought her suspension from the House till the panel submitted its report.

This led to Moitra's suspension from the Lok Sabha after an Ethics Committee report recommending her expulsion from the parliament was tabled, calling for an "intense, legal, institutional inquiry" by the central government in a "time-bound manner".

Dubey has been representing the Godda constituency in Jharkhand since May 2009. He has successfully won the seat in the 2009, 2014, and 2019 elections. He once again retained his Godda constituency in the 2024 General Elections after defeating his closest opponent INC's Pradeep Yadav.

He also holds a Doctorate in Management from Pratap University, Rajasthan on the topic of "Emerging Issue of Rural Poverty".

Dubey was working with Essar as a Director before he decided to take plunge into electoral politics.

He came into limelight with his sharp and controversial speech in Lok Sabha during the ongoing no-confidence motion where he categorised Congress, NewsClick and some other journalists to be linked with China "with an umbilical chord".
