Following TMC's thumping victory in assembly polls on sunday, there have been reports of widespread violence in the state with many bjp offices and workers being allegedly targeted by TMC workers. There have also been reports of TMC leader’s being targeted by the BJP. The West bengal government on thursday (May 6) announced a compensation of Rs 2 lakh for all those killed in post-poll violence. Announcing the ex-gratia for the kin of those killed in the violence, the bengal chief minister said, "We are going to compensate everyone who was killed without seeing party colours or religion or cast".
cm mamata had earlier appealed her party to main peace and calm and not indulge in any sort of violence. Accusing the bjp of harassing her government in West bengal ever since trinamool congress emerged as the winner in the assembly election, she said, "It's not been 24 hrs since this government has taken charge, they are sending letters & teams & ministers. I would request bjp to maintain peace and accept the people’s mandate. bjp is doing violence wherever they have got seats. I want to tell my boys also from the party. If you indulge in violence, we are not going to spare you also."
