Viral Hospital Video Triggers Fresh Political Controversy
A video featuring Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee inside a hospital has generated widespread attention online following the alleged assault on her nephew and TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee.
The footage, which has circulated extensively on social media, appears to show the senior TMC leader questioning hospital officials while accompanying Abhishek after he sought medical attention. The development comes hours after a confrontation during his visit to families reportedly affected by post-poll violence in West Bengal.
Attack on Abhishek Banerjee Sparks TMC Outrage
Abhishek Banerjee was allegedly attacked by a group of locals during the visit, with reports claiming that eggs were thrown at him and his clothes were torn during the chaos.
The incident quickly escalated into a political flashpoint, prompting strong reactions from the Trinamool Congress leadership and renewed exchanges between rival political camps.
Mamata Alleges Obstruction of Medical Treatment
Addressing reporters after the incident, Mamata Banerjee accused political opponents of interfering with medical procedures and creating hurdles in accessing treatment.
She alleged that hospitals and healthcare authorities were being pressured over the admission and treatment of the injured TMC leader. According to Banerjee, medical officials were facing external pressure while handling the situation.
Questions Raised Over Hospital Response
The TMC supremo also questioned the circumstances surrounding Abhishek Banerjee’s treatment and discharge. She pointed out that he had reportedly undergone medical observation and diagnostic examinations before eventually leaving the hospital.
Banerjee argued that if hospitalization was unnecessary, there should be clarity on why he was initially placed under observation and advised to undergo multiple medical evaluations.
Political Tensions Intensify in Bengal
The episode has added another layer of tension to West Bengal’s already charged political environment. The alleged assault on Abhishek Banerjee, the subsequent hospital controversy, and Mamata Banerjee’s public allegations are likely to fuel fresh political debate in the state.
With the viral video continuing to attract attention online, the incident has become one of the most talked-about political developments in West Bengal, drawing reactions from both supporters and critics of the ruling Trinamool Congress.
