West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s leg injury sustained during the 2021 Assembly election campaign in Nandigram is being contested by Suvendu Adhikari, a prominent political figure. Adhikari alleges the injury was “fake” and claims to possess documentation to support this assertion. He made the claim while campaigning for BJP candidate Hasirani Rath in Nandigram for the upcoming by-election on Friday. Speaking at a rally in Birulia Bazar, Adhikari presented this challenge to the established narrative. The allegations aim to discredit Banerjee’s account of the incident, raising questions about the circumstances surrounding the injury during a highly contested election period in Nandigram. Further details of the supporting documentation have not yet been released. This claim is expected to intensify political rivalry in West Bengal.
