New Delhi:
Union Minister of State for Home Affairs G Kishan Reddy on Sunday said that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has further “dented her image” as people even from her own party Trinamool Congress (TMC) know that the alleged attack on her is a drama.
“It’s not only the Observers of the Election Commission but even common people think the same. People from every party, people from her own party, West Bengal police, all of them think that it is a drama. With this, Mamata Banerjee has stooped too low before people,” Mr Reddy added.
Ms Banerjee, who was on a two-day visit to Nandigram from where she filed her nomination on Wednesday, alleged that she was pushed by a few unidentified people during election campaigning.
The medical report said that Ms Banerjee sustained “severe bone injuries” on her left foot and ankle as well as bruises and injuries on her shoulder, forearm and neck.
The Chief Minister was discharged from the hospital on March 12.
