West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday alleged that the Centre is discriminating against the flood-affected people of north Bengal despite the gravity of the disaster and the number of deaths in the region being similar to that in neighbouring Sikkim.
While maintaining that her government stands with Sikkim in such an hour of crisis, the Chief Minister said that the “recent disaster which has struck our brothers and sisters at Sikkim has struck my people at the Darjeeling hills and in Kalimpong also”.
