Goa, August 21: Micheal Lobo has made another irrational comment and this time he shared his views on the Kerala floods. According to an ANI news, he said. "I feel it's a natural disaster. People of Kerala are dignified & have self-respect. Govt has sanctioned Rs 500 crores & other states have also donated. I think they don't want our money, they need our prayers."
The Kerala government has called for an all-party meeting over the flood situation in the state at 4 PM today at Thiruvananthapuram, according to an ANI report. On Monday, the Centre declared the massive floods in Kerala as a 'calamity of severe nature'. The declaration comes days after the Opposition attacked the government for refraining to declare the floods in Kerala as a 'natural disaster'. With the 'severe calamity' declaration issued, additional aid for the flood-ravaged state will be sanctioned.
