West Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari Alleges Mamata Banerjee's 2021 Nandigram Injury Was Fabricated
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari has alleged that Mamata Banerjee's 2021 leg injury during the Nandigram assembly campaign was fabricated, citing medical reports indicating no fracture. Adhikari announced a fresh government probe into the incident, promising to reveal more details after the October 9 bypoll results. Banerjee had sustained injuries during the campaign, which she attributed to an attack, while Adhikari claims the injury was minor and politically exaggerated. The Election Commission had earlier found no evidence of an attack but noted security lapses.
