Kolkata: Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Monday had met with the family of a deceased Trinamool Congress (TMC) party worker Birju Keot and gave financial aid of Rs 10 lakh and also announced employment assistance.
“No compensation is bigger than life. But the financial assistance is given to raising the child of the deceased worker,” said Adhikari.
Talking to the media, wife of deceased TMC worker Jeni Sharma Keot said that she wants all the police personnel to be punished who were present in the police station when her husband died.
She also confirmed that the West Bengal Chief Minister had offered her a government job.
Notably, former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday had visited the deceased party worker’s family at Halisahar in north 24 parganas where her car was attacked with stones and bottles by the local people.
Adhikari however, blamed Mamata Banerjee for the attack and mentioned that the police were not informed about her movement.
“The TMC supremo, who has Z-category security, did not inform the police of her movements in advance. This was mob fury that she had faced yesterday. I request the former Chief Minister to inform whoever she likes about her movements through her office,” added Adhikari.
