WB announces life insurance of ₹5 lakh each for pilgrims

West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee announced a life insurance of ₹5 lakh each for pilgrims visiting the state for the upcoming Gangasagar fair, the second biggest pilgrimage fair after Kumbh. Mamata is trying to cover up her "Muslim appeasement policy" by announcing an insurance for Hindus who will attend the fair on the occasion of Makar Sankranti festival, BJP alleged.
