Mamata Banerjee faked her 2021 leg injury, as a medical report from IPGMER showed no fracture or dislocation and was allegedly leaked to rival Suvendu Adhikari

Analysis
Political rivalry fuels the narrative that Banerjee exaggerated her injury to garner sympathy during the 2021 campaign. Supporters of Adhikari may amplify the claim to question her credibility, while Banerjee's camp emphasizes the attack to highlight political violence. Without an authenticated medical report, the allegation remains speculative and serves more as a political weapon than a factual assertion. Readers should be cautious of accepting the claim at face value, as it relies on unverified documents and partisan statements rather than transparent evidence.
