The TMC supremo was injured earlier in March when she went to file her nomination from Nandigram. She had alleged that she was pushed by four to five men, who allegedly closed the car gate on her.

Addressing a public rally in the city after the roadshow, the CM took a dig at the Adhikari family, who were earlier in TMC but have not joined BJP. She said, “Too much greed is not good, they (Adhikaris) will be ‘na ghar ka ghat ka’ (of nowhere).”
