Mamata Banerjee loses cool amid TMC Kolkata protest march, slaps own worker

Former West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee was seen apparently slapping a party worker while taking part in a protest march in Kolkata on Wednesday. A video of the incident, which has been widely shared on social media, shows Banerjee walking through a large crowd accompanied by security personnel, party leaders and supporters. During the march, she suddenly raises her hand and appears to strike a man standing



close to her.

Soon after, Banerjee is seen pointing towards the man, seemingly asking him to move away. People around her then escort the man away from the immediate area as she continues with the rally.

The exact reason behind the incident remains unclear. It is not known what led to Banerjee's reaction, and the Trinamool Congress has not issued any official statement on the matter so far.
