A report by Shubhendu has cast doubt on whether Mamata Banerjee suffered a leg fracture in 2021, prompting a rebuttal from the Trinamool Congress.
Shubhendu, a political analyst, released a report on Monday that questions the authenticity of the 2021 incident in which Mamata Banerjee was reported to have fractured her leg. The document cites unnamed medical records and expert opinions that suggest the injury may have been exaggerated.
The report details that the alleged fracture was not documented in the official hospital discharge papers and that the X‑ray images released by the state health department show no clear fracture line. It also notes that the injury was reported only after a political rally, raising concerns about the timing.
In response, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) issued a statement denying the allegations. Party spokespersons said the report was "politically motivated" and that Mamata’s health records are fully transparent. They also urged the public to rely on verified sources.
The controversy comes amid a broader political debate over health disclosures of senior leaders. Analysts say the incident could influence public perception ahead of upcoming elections.
