Actor Slams MK Stalin for Neglecting Chennai Flood Victims While Helping His Family

Actor Aditi Balan has accused Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin of prioritizing his convoy over the rescue efforts during the Chennai floods. She claimed that she was asked to move her car while trying to rescue her stranded family, as the CM’s convoy was approaching. Aditi Balan took to her official Twitter account to express her frustration, stating that the government was more focused on helping influential individuals rather than the common people.

In her tweet, she mentioned visiting Radhakrishnan Nagar, Thiruvamiyur, where stagnant water from surrounding areas had been pumped, and dead animals were floating around. Aditi Balan and her family had to walk through the entire stagnation to rescue two children and their grandmother. Meanwhile, a boat with six police officers arrived to pick up an influential lady in Kottur Puram. She criticized the lack of government support in the affected areas and questioned why no one from the Greater Chennai Corporation had reached out to help.

The flooding in Chennai has left several low-lying areas inundated for the fourth consecutive day, although the water levels are gradually receding. The torrential rains preceding the cyclone caused the flooding, resulting in an estimated 13 deaths. Chief Minister MK Stalin visited some of the affected areas and distributed food and essential items to those seeking shelter at a relief center. He also inspected the drainage efforts undertaken by the city civic body.

In addition, MK Stalin wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, requesting an interim flood relief of Rs 5,060 crore. The Chennai floods have brought attention to the inadequate response and lack of assistance provided to the affected residents. Aditi Balan’s allegations have further highlighted the disparity in rescue efforts, where influential individuals seemingly receive preferential treatment over the common people.
