Was Mamata’s injury ‘orchestrated’: Shekhawat
The Hindu
Jal Shakti Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat on Saturday raised doubts about West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s injury earlier this week, asking whether it was an “orchestrated” incident. Speaking to journalists on the sidelines of a press conference, Mr. Shekhawat also forecast that the BJP would be a “tsunami” force in the State polls.
Ms. Banerjee sustained injuries on her left leg while campaigning in Nandigram on Wednesday. She said she had fallen after being surrounded and pushed by four or five people. The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has alleged that the attack against her was a conspiracy.
