A political controversy has emerged in Kerala's Poonjar constituency following devastating floods, as opposition parties criticize the local legislator for being abroad during the recovery efforts. While the LDF and CPI(M) have attacked the MLA's absence, the UDF defends his record and the effectiveness of his office's relief coordination.
