‘3rd term chances for BJP getting bleaker’
Trinamul Congress chairperson Mamata Banerjee said on Wednesday that the BJP’s chances of returning to power are becoming bleak while predicting a rich harvest for her party in Bengal.
The West Bengal government will give jobs to the widow and father of police sub-inspector Amitava Malik, who was killed during a clash between the security forces and Gorkha Janmukti Morcha activists in Darjeeling on Friday.
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who telephoned the bereaved family and spoke to the slain policeman’s father, announced an assistance of Rs 5 lakh from her relief fund.
“The Chief Minister is deeply pained by what has happened. She has released an amount of Rs 5 lakh from her relief fund for the grieving family,” said Education Minister Partha Chatterjee.

The minister said he, along with Food and Civil Supplies Minister Jyotipriya Mallick, would receive the body when it is flown here on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Malik’s mother demanded exemplary punishment for those who killed her son.
