West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee suffers leg injury during Nandigram campaign, alleges BJP behind attack- In pics

The SSKM Hospital has said that a team consisting of one cardiologist, an endocrinologist, a general surgery doctor, an orthopedist and a medical doctor has been constituted to monitor Bengal CM's health.

"I was standing outside my car with the door open. I was going to a temple there to offer my prayers. Few people came around my car and pushed the door. The door hit my leg," Mamata said, adding, "There was no local police, there was poor security... my legs are injured."

"Initial examination suggests severe bony injuries in her left ankle, foot & bruises, injuries in right shoulder, forearm & neck. CM complained of chest pain, breathlessness since the incident. She is kept under close watch for 48 hours," said Dr M Bandopadhya, IPGMER & SSKM Hospital on Wednesday night.

After the preliminary medical tests conducted on the TMC supremo, the doctors at the hospital decided to closely monitor Banerjee, who has been complaining of chest pain and breathlessness since the alleged attack at Nandigram in Purba Medinipur district earlier in the evening, for the next 48 hours.

The main opposition BJP has alleged that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was trying to turn a "simple accident" into a "pre-planned conspiracy" after she claimed that she was allegedly attacked by some unknown miscreants in Nandigram during the campaign.
