BJP urges EC to make Mamata Banerjee's medical report public
FollowA delegation of the Bharatiya Janata Party met the Chief Electoral Officer on Sunday (March 14) and demanded that the medical treatment history of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at the SSKM Hospital be made public.
The BJP also gave a letter to CEO over the same issue, and said, “The alleged attack has been used to extract the maximum possible political mileage. The TMC have attempted to use the Chief Minister`s purported injury which seems self-inflicted in order to gain sympathy and cause violence in different parts of the state.”
“It is necessary that truth be brought out before public so that staged incidents do not repeat to deceive the masses and manipulate their voting choices,” the letter added.
The BJP questioned why Mamata Banerjee was not taken to the nearest hospital, the Nandigram Super Speciality Hospital and was instead taken to Kolkata 120 km away from the incident.
The BJP demanded, “We sincerely urge you to seek details from the treating hospital i.e- SSKM regarding diagnostic and treatment history of her injury and whether necessary SOPs and conventional medical guidelines have been followed. It is extremely important that the entire medical records of her treatment be put out in public domain.”
Earlier an 8-member BJP delegation led by Union Minister Piyush Goyal had reached the Election Commission to discuss the incident and demanded that the video of the 'attack' on Mamata Banerjee be made public.
