After Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday announced a compensation of Rs 2 lakh each for the next of kin of those who lost their lives due to electrocution on Tuesday, BJP’s IT Cell Chief and the party’s special observer for West Bengal, Amit Malviya indirectly accused the Chief Minister of considering the religious factor in deciding over the amount of compensation.
