00:00 TMC leader and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee sustained a major injury on
00:09 Thursday as reported by the party on X. Sources indicate that she suffered an accident at
00:14 her residence and is currently undergoing treatment. This incident marks the second
00:19 major mishap for the Chief Minister this year. In January, she narrowly avoided a serious
00:24 harm during a tour to East Burdwan when a car accident was just averted. During her
00:32 return to Kolkata from an administrative meeting in Burdwan, Banerjee's convoy encountered
00:37 a vehicle she claimed was speeding at 200 km/hr near Burdwan city. Despite the driver's
00:44 effort to brake, Banerjee's head still struck the dashboard resulting in swelling and concussion.
00:50 This development where she sustained a major injury comes as a blow to the Trinamool Congress,
00:54 particularly as Mamata Banerjee was actively campaigning for the Lok Sabha elections. Furthermore,
01:00 this incident is the second instance of Banerjee being injured just prior to an election campaign.
01:06 If one remembers, just a few days ago, she had fielded 42 candidates in West Bengal.
01:12 At that time, she had expressed confidence that she will win and defeat BJP in her home
01:16 state. But the things are likely going out of her favour. Notably, in 2021, she also
01:23 suffered a leg injury just before the West Bengal Assembly elections. During that time,
01:28 many voters and citizens of Bengal expressed sympathy towards CM Mamata Banerjee during
01:32 her campaign. Will she campaign this time and run day by day for the events? That is
01:38 something that still needs to be seen.
