A purported video shows West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee boarding a helicopter. She tripped and fell as she moved ahead to take a seat.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee slipped and fell while boarding a chopper in Durgapur, Paschim Bardhaman, on Saturday. She reportedly suffered a minor injury.
A purported video of the incident was shared by news agency ANI. The video shows Banerjee boarding the helicopter. She fell as she moved ahead to take a seat. Security personnel rushed to help her. She, however, continued with her journey to Asansol.
Earlier this month, Banerjee attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Centre over the Lok Sabha elections being held in the state in seven phases amid ‘scorching heat’. Her statement came after Union minister Nitin Gadkari fainted while speaking during a poll campaign in Maharashtra’s Pusad.
In March this year, Banerjee was hospitalised after suffering a major injury. She had sustained injuries including a deep gash on her forehead and a cut on her nose during the incident.
“Our chairperson @MamataOfficial sustained a major injury. Please keep her in your prayers,” the Trinamool Congress (TMC) had posted on X along with pictures of Banerjee bleeding from her forehead.
