After Mamata Banerjee was discharged from the hospital, she is going to lead her campaign for the upcoming Bengal Elections in a wheelchair. This campaign would be her first public appearance after sustaining the injury and followed hospitalisation.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was attacked and allegedly “pushed” by people leaving her with an injury in her ankle, shoulder, and neck. She had gone to Nandigram to file her nomination for the coming assembly elections where the incident took place.

Though this matter is probably the biggest conspiracy and lots of debates are going around whether the door was intentionally slammed or accidentally. Trinamool Congress released a statement saying that, it was a 'gruesome attack'. The party further added that an attempt was made on her life.
Following Banerjee's discharge, the medical board of the SSKM Hospital in Kolkata told reporters, "Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has responded well to the treatment. The six-member board has re-examined her health condition. We have opened the plaster cast. Fresh plaster has been applied. She has been discharged with appropriate instructions, after her repeated requests. She has been advised to revisit after seven days."
Bengal will vote in eight rounds starting March 27 and the results will be declared on May 2.
