Singh slammed the central government for its lack of support during the crisis. He demanded the Centre label the floods a national disaster and cough up a massive financial relief package for the victims. He claimed he has tracked the state's suffering for three years, noting that the reality for displaced families remains brutal.
The MP didn't hold back on the silence from top leadership. He called out Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, accusing them of showing up only for votes while ignoring the state when it is underwater. Singh also pointed to illegal mining as a major driver of the disaster, insisting the practice must be killed off to stop the flooding from returning year after year.
