The Chief Minister's visit to Malappuram, following a flash flood, has drawn criticism for allegedly neglecting disaster sites in Kottayam and Idukki. The article notes that six people died in the Malappuram flash flood, while four people died in landslides in Kottayam and Idukki, with two deaths reported in each district. Criticism suggests the CM's focus on Malappuram is due to appeasing the Muslim League, neglecting the suffering of common people in Kottayam and Idukki.
