Railway minister Mamata Banerjee, who is recovering from injuries she suffered in a road accident last Monday, is likely to leave for Delhi tomorrow to attend to business relating to her ministry in Parliament, an aide of hers said today.
"Discussions on demands for supplementary grants of the railway ministry are scheduled for August 19 and 20 in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha respectively. And if these are listed in the business schedules on those days, she will go to Delhi tomorrow," additional private secretary to the railway minister Ratan Mukherjee told PTI here today.
Asked about Mamata's present health condition, he said, "The railway minister has not recovered fully yet. She also has a throat infection."
The minister was injured when on her way back from a rally in the Maoist-affected Lalgarh, a truck rammed into an escort vehicle in her convoy which, in turn, hit the vehicle in which she was travelling on August nine.
Mamata has not stepped out of her Kalighat home complaining of chest pain and breathlessness since last Tuesday after doctors advised her rest, Trinamool Congress sources said.
BJP and Left parties had joined hands in Parliament to corner the government on the railway minister's speech at her rally at Lalgarh in which she had demanded a CBI into the killing of Maoist leader Cherukuri Rajkumar alias Azad.
While addressing the rally she had also urged the Maoists to give up violence and come to the negotiation table.
