A video has gone viral on social media where West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee could be seen shaking her supposedly injured leg comfortably without any apparent discomfort. It is generally observed that a plastered leg causes some amount of pain if the person is not cautious enough, however, Mamata Banerjee does not appear encumbered by such mundane affairs.

She said that she cannot remain seated during the National Anthem and therefore, had to make an effort to stand up. It was a perplexing spectacle, indeed.

While Mamata Banerjee claimed that she was attacked by goons associated with the BJP, eyewitnesses said that it was an accident and a report submitted to the Election Commission said the same thing as well.
The video that has now emerged casts further doubts into the story peddled by the Trinamool Congress.
