Wayanad Landslide: The landslides in Mundakkai and Chooralmala, Wayanad, have resulted in 167 confirmed deaths, as per the Kerala Revenue Department.
BJP leader V Muraleedharan hit out at the Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan-led Kerala government over the recent landslides in Wayanad that claimed the lives of over 160 people and said that state was paying the price of the state government's 'casual approach.'
This comes after Home Minister Amit Shah's assertion in Parliament on Wednesday that the state was warned as early as July 23 about a potential natural calamity in Wayanad due to heavy rains.
Speaking to ANI on the Wayanad landslide incidents, BJP leader V Muraleedharan said, "Home Minister Amit Shah in the Rajya Sabha very specifically mentioned that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government stands with the people of Kerala like a rock and there can be no doubt about that."
