A day after West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had a fall at her Kalighat residence ‘due to some push from behind’ leading to injuries on forehead and nose, the director of SSKM Hospital Manimoy Bandyopadhyay on Friday clarified that the CM may have felt ‘a sensation of push’.
The TMC supremo, 69 suffered a grievous injury on her forehead and nose after falling inside her Kalighat residence in South Kolkata on Thursday evening.
Talking to the media, Bandyopadhyay said, “This is a sensation of pushing from behind which led to the fall (of CM Banerjee). Our job is to treat and we have done that. There was a misinterpretation of what I said last evening.”
The SSKM director stated on Thursday evening that Banerjee had ‘a fall within the vicinity of her home due to some push from behind’.
Bandypadhyay’s ‘push from behind theory sparked large-scale confusion and speculations over the cause of the Trinamool Congress supremo’s fall. She underwent three stitches on her forehead and one on her nose and was discharged following necessary medical tests, including radio imaging of her brain and ECG, at the hospital.
Banerjee, who has been advised bed rest, was reported to be clinically ”stable” this morning as doctors said they were planning to carry out a few routine checks during the day, a senior official of the SSKM hospital said. ”The CM’s health condition is stable. She had a good sleep in the night as senior doctors kept a close watch on her throughout the period. There will be another assessment of her condition,” the official told .
