After the rain subsided in Tamil Nadu, the AIADMK launched an attack on the DMK government's flood control measures. Chief Minister M K Stalin accused the opposition of politicizing the situation, asserting the state's readiness to handle any level of rainfall efficiently.
AIADMK's general secretary, Edappadi K Palaniswami, demanded details of actions based on the Thiruppugazh Committee's flood prevention suggestions. Despite his request for a white paper, he claims no comprehensive report has been disclosed yet.
Responding to criticisms, Deputy CM Udhayanidhi remarked that the government's efforts to clear waterlogged areas serve as a sufficient 'white paper.' CM Stalin noted that the state's flood mitigation strategies have earned public satisfaction, dismissing opposition claims as politically motivated distractions.
