Thiruvananthapuram: The opposition CPI(M) on Thursday accused the Congress-led UDF government of "politicising" the Wayanad landslide tragedy instead of focusing on rescue operations, alleging that contradictory statements by ministers and officials had undermined public confidence and exposed serious administrative lapses.
The allegations were made in a strongly-worded editorial published in the CPI(M)'s mouthpiece Deshabhimani, which accused the government of "attempting to convert" the disaster into a political controversy while evading responsibility.
