West Bengal governor expresses concern over injury to TMC MP Abhishek Bandyopadhyay

KOLKATA: Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi has expressed his concern about the injury to MP Abhishek Bandyopadhyay, who met a road accident near Singur, Hoogly, on Tuesday.
Tripathi visited Belle Vue Nursing Home, where Bandyopadhyay is undergoing treatment and enquired about his health from chief minister Mamata Banerjee.
The governor wished the MP a speedy recovery.
Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee, who is also Mamata Banerjee's nephew, was injured and had to be rushed to hospital after his car met with an accident on Tuesday.
Around 4:30 pm on Tuesday, Banerjee's car hit a truck that was being towed on the National Highway 2 near Singur. It then turned turtle and fell into the grassy road divider. He was somehow pulled out of the wreckage and rushed to Belle Vue Clinic in Kolkata.
Banerjee’s condition is reported to be stable, hospital sources said on Thursday. He has suffered some cuts below the eye. A CT scan has been done. Early reports suggested Banerjee's driver may have fallen asleep. The chief minister asked the DGP to examine if the driver may have been drugged. "Such accidents have been happening too often to be taken lightly," she said.
She also said the police should review the fitness and skill of drivers the police was deploying. She also suggested thorough background checks. Abhishek Banerjee is 29 and the MP from Diamond Harbour.
