Kolkata: Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari of West Bengal reignited the controversy surrounding former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's alleged leg injury during the 2021 Assembly elections. Adhikari termed the claims made by Mamata as 'false' and stated that the state government would initiate a new inquiry post the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) is lifted following the byelections.
Adhikari presented the medical report which corroborated his claim, stating that there was no evidence of fracture or dislocation in Mamata's case. He further accused Mamata of misleading the people of Nandigram. This comes after Mamata had initially claimed to have been pushed by unidentified individuals, sustaining an injury to her left leg and waist.
She subsequently campaigned in a wheelchair during the 2021 Assembly elections. Mamata faction Trinamool Congress (TMC) MLA Kunal Ghosh criticized Adhikari's remarks, while Congress Bengal chief Subhankar Sarkar challenged Adhikari to reveal all the evidence supporting his allegations.
