Odisha train accident: Suvendu Adhikari targets WB CM Mamata Banerjee over ex-gratia distribution in Kolkata

Bharatiya Janata Party leader Suvendu Adhikari on June 6, reacted to the distribution of compensation cheques to the victims of the Balasore Triple Train Collision by the West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in Kolkata on June 7. He alleged that the kin of the victims are being compelled to visit Kolkata because the CM will deliver a speech there and then hand over cheques. “The relatives of people who were injured in the Balasore Train Accident are being compelled to come to Netaji Indoor Stadium tomorrow because CM Mamata Banerjee will deliver a speech there and hand over the compensation cheques to the injured and relatives of the deceased. It is shameful that they are being told to come to Kolkata. They have not even recovered from the trauma,” said Suvendu Adhikari.
