This led to a deep cut on her forehead and profuse bleeding,” a senior TMC leader had said.In January, Mamata had injured her forehead, after her car had to suddenly stop to avoid a collision with another vehicle. Banerjee, who was seated in front beside the driver, was injured after her head hit the windscreen. The accident took place when the CM was returning to Kolkata from an administrative review meeting in Purba Bardhaman.Banerjee had last year suffered a knee injury while alighting from a helicopter in Sevoke in north Bengal.

"Mamata Banerjee has herself earned the reputation of misleading the common people. On earlier occasions too, it was reported that Mamata Banerjee was injured during the election campaign. At that time, I told the media that once the elections are over, the Bengal chief minister will be able to walk on her foot," Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said."The entire matter has been staged only to exploit the emotions of the people," the Congress leader added.
