I don't think Mahua will be expelled. Her matter has been referred to the Ethics Committee and not the Privileges Committee. Only the Privileges Committee can expel, the Ethics Committee can only censure. And if the TMC suspends her she will be welcomed to the Congress, which was her original party. So her career remains strong.

One thing you can do is just apply to the AAP legal cell. They are more receptive than Congress and BJP. AAP also looks nice on the CV. But do not work with any TMC MP. This party is facing tons of corruption cases and is a bad bet for CV enhancement.
I am personally a political conservative and BJP supporter, but I want to intern with a left-liberal INDIA alliance opposition MP as that gives more credibility when applying abroad. I also want to intern with an English-speaking MP, as English is the only language I am comfortable working in. I made the shortlist below. I had Mahua Moitra and Praful Patel as well, but I have removed Mahua as she is likely to be expelled and Patel because he is about to join the BJP.
Any suggestions on who I can add to the shortlist? Also, more importantly, how do I apply? Do I just call/email their office? Is an NLU tag enough? Do I need to go through a contact?
