Mamata Banerjee
After injury Mamata Banerjee to lead roadshow in wheelchair today
New Delhi/IBNS: Four days after Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was injured during a campaign trail in Nandigram, the Trinamool Congress supremo will attend her first public event on Sunday afternoon.
Banerjee will lead a huge roadshow in Kolkata in a wheelchair, her party has said.
She will address the gathering at the end of the rally in Hazra.
On Mar 10 after filing her nomination in Nandigram, Banerjee was injured and she went ahead accusing four-five unidentified people pushing the door of her car to hit her left ankle while she was greeting people in Birulia.
"Four-five men pushed me to the car... I am having deep pain. See my leg got swollen. I am having slight temperature as well and having chest pain," the Chief Minister, who was rushed to Kolkata's SSKM Hospital within hours, had said.
While the careful Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is both calling the incident a "drama" as well as demanding a high-level probe, the Trinamool Congress went ahead to link the saffron party with the incident though the CM herself shied away from any further accusations.
Banerjee, who has been discharged from hospital on Friday evening, has already announced she would resume her campaigning in a wheelchair, something which is unprecedented in Bengal politics, within a few days.
She will contest against former aide Suvendu Adhikari, who has now joined the BJP, in Nandigram.
Bengal will vote in eight rounds starting March 27 and the results will be declared on May 2.
