The Indian Meteorological Department also issued a red alert for Wayanad, Kozhikode, Kannur, Kasaragod, Malappuram, Palakkad, Idukki and Ernakulam districts till Thursday.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi too while addressing Indians on the 72nd Independence Day today, said, Many parts of the nation witnessed a good monsoon but at the same time, several parts of India have been affected by flooding. My thoughts are with the families of those who lost their lives due to floods in various parts of India.
Modi on his twitter handle wrote, Had a detailed discussion with Kerala CM Shri Pinarayi Vijayan regarding the unfortunate flood situation in the state. Centre stands firmly with the people of Kerala and is ready to provide any assistance needed. @CMOKerala?
Meanwhile, Shashi Tharoor, Congress MP of Thiruvananthapuram on his Twitter handle wrote, The flood situation here in Kerala is really bad. The national media coverage has been grossly inadequate compared to the gravity of the situation here.

However, he threw these charges under the bus and said, I was looking for materials for a question I wanted to ask the government in question hour.
?When I was looking for question material, I deleted too many messages as my phone storage was full. What the media has shown or seen, I don’t know. I would never do such things or see such things, he added.
This was not the first time in Karnataka that such an incident had happened. Back in 2012, three Bharatiya Janata Party ministers were caught on camera allegedly watching adult content in the State Assembly. Following the scandal, they resigned from the state government due to public embarrassment.
