Mamata Banerjee
Showing medical records, Adhikari said: “During a speech in Nandigram on Friday, I said that in 2021, the whole of Nandigram was insulted by the then CM. I have the report from Bangur Institute of Neurosciences, dept of radiodiagnosis, dated 11.03.21, which says there was no evidence of fracture or dislocation. I will inform you about this after Oct 9,” Adhikari said.
Trinamool also released a five-year-old image of Banerjee’s bleeding left knee, saying it was illegal to make confidential medical reports public, and dubbed the CM’s statement “tasteless filth-mongering”. Her leg was allegedly broken. Just as an investigation takes place when you file a complaint, action can also be taken against you if you make a false complaint.
Earlier reporting noted: “Mamata Banerjee faked her leg injury during campaigning in Nandigram in 2021. This is the report of the Department of Radio Diagnosis of Bangur Institute of Neurosciences, dated March 11, 2021.
He said: “I do not like personal attacks. Earlier reporting noted: The West Bengal government will launch a fresh inquiry into Mamata Banerjee’s “false claims” of leg injury during the 2021 assembly poll campaign, Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari said on Saturday. There is no evidence of a fracture,” Adhikari said, while displaying, what he claimed, was Banerjee’s medical report. Earlier reporting noted: He said the state CID is already investigating the matter and the state government will launch a fresh probe after the assembly by-elections.
After becoming CM, I went to SSKM Hospital. I am chairman (of Rogi Kalyan Samiti) there. X-ray plates are usually handed over to the patient, not kept by the doctor; only the report remains. Didn’t she bring disgrace upon all of you that day? The car door had struck an iron beam, it swung back and lightly hit her leg. Yet she roamed around with a bandage, claiming her leg was broken. I still have those papers with me. She was the CM then. Her own doctors had written that there was no fracture. If needed, and if challenged, I will produce them. I am also the police minister now. I will show how she insulted all of Birulia and Nandigram. Trinamool does not have a candidate in Nandigram and is backing Congress candidate Milan Pradhan.
Adhikari, while campaigning for BJP’s Nandigram candidate Hasirani Rath on Friday evening — incidentally in Birulia as well — raked up the issue first. Campaigning for Nandigram bypoll ends on Sunday evening.
Trinamool spokesperson Kunal Ghosh cited National Medical Commission rules and the Supreme Court’s ruling on the right to privacy and said: “His vile politics ahead of the bypolls is reprehensible and condemnable. Bengal BJP spokesperson Debjit Sarkar, posting Banerjee’s medical reports on his X handle, said: “Now, the truth lies bare and open. It is once again proven that Mamata-di is whom BJP considers the real opposition… Moreover, doctors and institutions never have the practice of disclosing anyone’s personal medical information outside, and govt should remember that too. How much further will they drag politics down? Mamata Banerjee’s entire act of being in a hospital with a bandage around her leg was nothing but exaggerated drama.”
